Sleep Explained Through Leucomaines and Ptomaines Theory
A condensed report from an Anthropological Society address by Professor Leo Errera outlines a chemical view of sleep. It centers on fatigue products called leucomaines and ptomaines, their buildup during wakefulness, and their role in triggering sleep as they are oxidized and cleared. The piece links respiration, fatigue, and brain intoxication to the periodicity and depth of sleep, noting Kohlschlutter's experiments on arousal thresholds and the balance between peripheral and central fatigue.
