The Twenty-four Hour Mind: The Role of Sleep and Dreaming in Our Emotional Lives [Paperback]

Author: Rosalind D. Cartwright - ISBN: 0199896283 - Language: English - Format: PDF, EPUB

DESCRIPTION

Leading sleep researcher Rosalind Cartwright brings together decades of work on sleep, dreaming and sleep disorders to propose a new theory of how the mind works continuously. Drawing on her own research and that of others, Cartwright describes how conscious and unconscious thoughts and feelings move forward-from waking, into sleep and dreaming, to the next waking day. One main purpose of sleep is to regulate disturbing emotions. Not everyone does this successfully every night. Her research on dreams of those suffering depression show these fail to regulate mood overnight, and when sleepwalkers behave aggressively they have not had enough time dreaming. With many case examples, the author illustrates how conscious and unconscious thoughts and feelings are being linked to older memories throughout sleep and dreams, and how this process effects changes in thinking and feeling the next day-even reshaping our identities. The Twenty-four Hour Mind offers a unique integration of psychology and sleep research that will be of interest to anyone captivated by the mysteries of the mind-and what sleep and dreams teach us about ourselves.

I got interested in the topic of sleep and dreaming maybe ten years ago and have found the authors of texts on the subject a bit of a mixed bag. On the one hand, you have tea leaf readers that propose theories that have no basis in modern science. On the other, you have hard scientists that describe sleep and dreaming in the context of the brain and neurons, but refuse to acknowledge "soft" evidence, like the mind and psychology. Rosalind Cartwright is the rare scientist who is well versed in the gamut of disciplines related to the field of sleep research, which includes psychiatry, neurology, and psychology. Her book starts with a general introduction to the topic of the mind, sleep, and dreaming. Here, as throughout her book, Rosalind writes about weighty material in a way that is both approachable and entertaining. After getting the reader up to speed, she presents some astonishing contemporary research, including evidence of mental activity during sleep and the role this activity plays in both the sciences and in the law -- turns out Rosalind is not only a researcher but an expert witness in cases in which people have murdered while sleepwalking! She explains in detail how when people sleep, certain parts of their minds are truly asleep while other parts are wide awake. These alert portions, which contribute to the title of her book, are able to perform complex operations when people sleepwalk, including driving a car, using tools, and even shooting a gun, all without the knowledge of the conscious part of their minds.
