Very sad read about elderly people and their inability to achieve sufficient deep sleep on their own. It's good to know the author and his team are looking into solutions and ways to help.

During puberty, the circadian rhythm of teenagers is pushed forward. This means teens will not be able to sleep until much later in the night.

Another interesting thing is that sleep (specifically NREM) is crucial during the development stages. So much that it helps with maturity in the frontal lobe. Lack of sleep at this point has lead to the development of schizophrenia.

Sleep deficiency in fetuses and newborns causes developmental issues. These same issues can possibly be causes for autism (but correlation doesn't equal causation).

Definitely a good read still. This is the beginning of Chapter 5, ending Part 1 of the book.
