When fur seals, dolphins, and whales sleep in the water, one hemisphere at a time, and exclusively in NREM, the theory is they would not need REM to warm up the brain, since half of the brain is always awake and warm.

(This refers to people who interrupt their sleep to get up to urinate, as opposed to bedwetting, a different problem discussed in chapter 6.) Maybe you are thinking, “I only get up once during the night to urinate and go right back to sleep, so it isn’t a problem.” However, when we understand sleep architecture, the importance of its components, and how our eight hours of sleep must be uninterrupted in order to get the proper bal…

When you see the wolf, follow the instructions to engage with the content and reinforce the concepts before moving on to the next section. The honu and kākau images are on a backdrop of the Hawaiian kapa (the beaten thing) or tapa cloth, like the kīhei (cape), symbolizing home and protection.
