Resumen de The case of the sleeping slayer.
The article discusses how the awake-asleep distinction is not binary and how researchers identify several neurological and biological processes occurring in a continuum between sleep and wakefulness. Topics include lethal and non-lethal sleep crimes and how the partial-sleep hypothesis suggests that certain regions of the brain may be in a sleep state while the person appears to be awake. Additional information is presented on partial-sleep evidence in mammals and the non-existence of a centralized sleep command region in the brain.
