About this title

Synopsis

The Anatomy Of Sleep; Or, The Art Of Procuring Sound And Refreshing Slumber At Will by Edward Binns. This work surveys the physiology and psychology of sleep, arguing that sound and refreshing slumber is an active, regulateable faculty situated within the nervous system. It traces definitions of sleep, distinguishes narcotic sleep from natural sleep, and explores the brain’s role, the circulation between brain, heart, and blood, and the anatomy of perception, sensation, and voluntary movement. The text extends to dreams, somnambulism, mesmerism, and related phenomena such as hibernation, trance, catalepsy, and other sleep-related conditions. Drawing on historical authorities and contemporary experiments, the author offers a popular, often speculative synthesis of sleep physiology, the influence of narcotics, and practical guidance for inducing sleep at will without narcotics, while acknowledging the limits of contemporary science.
