N2  - This book aims at presenting biologists and clinicians with a compact description of the physiologic manifestations of sleep that are significant from the viewpoint of the principle of homeostasis. In the jargon of the physiologic literature, the word 'homeostasis', introduced by W.B. Cannon (1926), refers to the existence of a constant state of extracellular body fluids with regards to their physical and chemical properties. Since normal cell function depends on the constancy of such fluids, in multicellular animals there are many regulatory mechanisms under the control of the central nervous
