I remember lecturing years ago about someone spending extremely long
periods of time in a cave. I believe
even much longer than the Chilean miners. My recollection is that the
individual gravitated toward a 25
hour sleep-wake cycle, but I could be wrong in that.
That was no someone. That was Nathaniel Kleitman, the father
of modern sleep research, renowned for his classic text _Sleep
and Wakefulness_ (1939). It was in his laboratory that
Aserinsky first observed rapid eye movement sleep. Kleitman
and a colleague became famous for their Mammoth cave study,
documented in a Scientific American article which was assigned
to generations of psychology students. As I recall, Kleitman
found that he couldn't adapt to one of the artificial sleep-wake
cycles they tried out, and was miserable throughout their stay;
His colleague managed just fine.
