Session Overview


This lecture begins with a historical overview of the concept of instinct and how the study of sleep fits into that history. The developmental significance of sleep is then reviewed, particularly with regard to the fact that humans and other animals sleep the most in early life. Solving this mystery requires a focus on the features of infant sleep and how they relate to the functional requirements of developing animals. The speaker’s research on the contributions of REM sleep to the rodent developing sensorimotor system is then reviewed, and the role of sleep in developing the distinction between self and other is discussed. The lecture ends with a review of recent research on sleep in human infants and its implications for understanding typical and atypical development.

After participating in this session, the learner should be better able to:

  • Describe the early features of sleep in developing animals, including humans, and their functional significance
  • Outline how sleep components change across development
  • State the functional significance of REM sleep for the developing sensorimotor system
