Touché.
OK, so Carol Worthman is an anthropologist from Emory University, and
anthropology is new to me.
And " in settings that roughly mimic ancient nighttime conditions, sleep
undergoes an intriguing shift, says psychiatrist Thomas A. Wehr of the National
Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) in Bethesda,Md." Wehr is certainly a
well-known sleep researcher.
And here is a favorite of mine:
"I've been hoping anthropologists would examine sleep cross-culturally
for the past 20 years," remarks psychologist Mary A. Carskadon of the
Brown University School of Medicine in Providence, R.I.
Carskadon has directed studies that indicate that the body's so-called
biological clock gets pushed back during adolescence. Teenagers may
require more sleep than adults and may have a natural tendency to go
to sleep later and wake up later than at other ages, she says.
