• I think these terms are very misleading because they might give the impression that paradoxical sleep is only due to an intensification of the hypnic process whereas the occurrence of something else is in fact involved.
• Orthodox sleep is vital for physical restoration of the body while paradoxical sleep is essential to your mental and emotional stability.
• Paradoxical sleep is considered as the period of recovery for the mind and the phase for filtering or recording information, reprogramming instinctive behaviour, which is part of the genetic make-up of mankind.
• Jouvet's popular version of the physiology of paradoxical sleep is more fragmented and less detailed than the comparable picture drawn in Hobson's The Dreaming Brain (1988), and less theoretically careful than Owen Flanagan's philosophical tour-de-force Dreaming Souls (2000).
