Sleep is an essential component of human existence, con-suming roughly one third of our lives. Fatigue, jet lag, poor sleep, and vivid dreams are frequent points of our morning discussions. We look and feel terrible after getting too little sleep; hence a $20 billion industry of beds, pillows, pills, and other tools has cropped up to help us sleep better. Correspondingly, there are plenty of products designed to keep us awake.Despite the importance of sleep in our lives, and the lives of so many other species, a definitive answer on the specific neurobiological or physiologic purpose of sleep eludes researchers. However, substantial advances in the field are uncovering the crucial role that sleep plays in our health, behavior, and well-being.
