  Dr. Dement discusses fully the fascinating world of dreams (including creativity during dreaming), sleep disorders, and the relationship of sleep disorders to mental illness-and suggests how the answers to the questions science is now asking may help us solve problems of our waking hours.

• Horne, James. Why We Sleep: The Functions of Sleep in Humans and Other Mammals, New York: Oxford University Press, 1988.
  Why do humans and other mammals sleep? The topic of sleep is now a focus of widespread research, and yet this fascinating question continues to prove surprisingly difficult to answer.
  Does sleep itself stimulate body tissues to repair themselves, for example, or can this result from inactivity of any kind?
  Does sleep have different functions in different mammals? Why We Sleep is an authoritative and readable accout of the continuing controversies, written from a broad biological perspective.
  The author, a leading figure in sleep research, critcally examines traditional views, and puts forward many conclusions and hypotheses of his own. The book should appeal not only to sleep researchers and students of psychology, zoology, and physiology, but to many general readers with a scientific or medical background.
