The paper looks at how new techniques in the study of neuroscience, such as specialised laboratory and imaging techniques, have stimulated greater enquiry into the world of sleep and dreaming . The development of the electroencephalogram (EEG), which records the electrical activity of the brain through the high-resistant skull and scalp, has played an important role in shaping many new theories of sleep and dreaming. The paper examines the broad spectrum of neuroscience, which includes circadian rhythms, evolutionary and cross-species comparisons, as well as cognitive and behavioural neuroscience approaches. A wide range of literature and analysis from scientific journals on the effects of a lack of sleep, the state of the brain during sleep, and other neurobiological/ neurophysiological issues provides an enriching basis for the paper's discussions.
