Sleep
The necessary function of sleep is surprisingly complex
and little understood. There are literally thousands of
studies trying to understand why we sleep. We
obviously will not even attempt to go into the details of
sleep here. We're just going to provide a few links to
sleep and sleep disorders.
Our main purpose is to discuss the differences between
natural sleep and anesthesia. Since neither are well
understood, the papers can best be described as
theories for why anesthesia is different from sleep.
There are numerous article on this subject that can only
be read either at the library or through a subscription
service so the few articles presented here on sleep and
anesthesia are just the tip of the iceberg. It will at least
get you started if you are really interested.
Another common question patients ask is if they will
dream under anesthesia. Here we provide a few links to
interesting articles but it is by no means comprehensive.
