Hello all - Am de-lurking to ask for help on two sleep & dreaming questions emailed to me by a 101 student:
(1)Would you comment on the behaviour of ruminants (cows) that chew the cud at night or during the day with closed eyes. Has anyone established whether they are asleep or not? The reason why I think they may be asleep or half asleep is that you can actually get very close without them noticing that you are there. (2)Have you ever noticed that some babies smile or even laugh while they are asleep? Is that some form of dreams or just a reflex? As I'm a memory/psycholinguistics specialist, I haven't the foggiest as to whether cows sleep while cud-chewing or whether babies smile in dreams...ideas much appreciated. Thanks! -- Michelle Miller Assistant Professor Department of Psychology Northern Arizona University Flagstaff, AZ 86001-5106 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://jan.ucc.nau.edu/~mdm29/
