What happens to the mind and body when sleep is broken, delayed, or denied? Sleep shapes every waking moment. In Sleep: Its Physiology, Pathology, Hygiene, and Psychology, pioneering neurologist Marie De Manaceine offers a classic scientific study of sleep that unites meticulous observation with humane insight. First published in the late nineteenth century, it stands as a foundational medical treatise on sleep, mapping the physiology of sleep and dreams, the mechanisms of sleep disorders and insomnia, and the delicate ties between sleep hygiene and mental health. Written in clear, vivid prose, De Manaceine's exploration ranges from laboratory findings to clinical observation, functioning as a sleep physiology and pathology textbook and a searching enquiry into the nature of consciousness, fatigue, and the costs of sleeplessness. As a landmark of 19th century sleep science and classic nineteenth century neurology, it remains an invaluable reference for sleep researchers and a rich resource for medical and psychology students interested in the history of sleep medicine and the development of modern theories of rest and dreaming. For general readers curious about why they dream, why they lie awake, and how rest shapes mood and thought, De Manaceine offers a remarkably accessible voice, while scholars and collectors will value its place in any classic sleep research collection. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
