Definition
This is too simplistic, and it is inaccurate! Sleep is absolutely not the absence of wake, but a very interesting and complex activity of the brain with important roles in synaptic plasticity, learning, and memory. Indeed, contrary to what the article says, sleep is not primarily for "rest": sleep is an active and necessary function of the brain.
Furthermore, only humans and some new world monkeys such as squirrel monkeys have "consolidated" sleep. Other animals that sleep are "polyphasic" sleeping in shorter bursts during the night (diurnal) the day (nocturnal) or at dawn/dusk (crepuscular) dogs, cats and rodents, to name only a few.
This page needs serious editing, or else it should be removed. It should not provide this simplistic and incorrect information as it stands. The material is simply not correct. -- 00:14, 25 November 2006 69.12.166.151
Semi-protection has been challenged
Due to repeated recent reverts, I have set semi-protection to slow down, but an IP editor has challenged this action (Special:Diff/9780057). Please discuss this request. MathXplore (talk) 10:05, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- Assuming that the IP user that is suggesting this is the same as the one that made this edit: if this is the only reason for asking the unprotection, then I oppose unprotecting the page early. The IP should add references to those claims and make an edit request on this page. — *Fehufangą ♮ ✉ Talk page 10:24, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
- (change conflict) Agree with protection. While there may be sociological reasons for varying self-reported durations of sleep between the genders, it is ultimately irrelevant because the article is talking about recommendations on health grounds. In this case, the National Sleep Foundation paper is the source of those recommendations. If they want to state otherwise, it needs to be mentioned as a sociological effect, with reliable sources.
