More quotes by William C. Dement
Sleep is an essential part of life-but more important, sleep is a gift.
William C. Dement
Sleep deprivation is the most common brain impairment.
William C. Dement
We're beginning to realize that drowsiness or sleep deprivation, fatigue, is beginning to outstrip alcohol as a cause of accidents in transportation, particularly on the highway.
William C. Dement
Given that the dreaming brain must perform these remarkable contortions - creating a world, living in it, responding to it, and then carefully blocking all the responses in a manner that does not cross the threshold of awareness - it is no wonder that this dreaming brain seems to be more active than the waking brain.
William C. Dement
Dreaming is the opportunity to hold a citizenship in two worlds, equally real but with different logic and limitations.
William C. Dement
