Title: What controls sleep?
Post by: John Lane on 05/05/2009 16:30:02

John Lane  asked the Naked Scientists:
   
Dr. Chris, firstly I listen to a lot of scientific podcasts (http://www.thenakedscientists.com/HTML/podcasts/) and yours is
very current, informative and intelligent.  

My question:  is there much knowledge and/or theories about the mechanism that controls sleep?

Cheers
