Understanding the Voluntary and Involuntary Aspects of the Sleep Mechanism
Journal Title: Public Health Open Access - Year 2023, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
This article deals with quantum biology, the new tool to complete traditional biology and answer difficult questions about living organisms and human existence. We elucidate the involuntary aspect of the sleep mechanism with the work of Nobel laureate Prigogine on dissipative structures and introduce the concept of spontaneous symmetry breaking; we explain why sleep and syncope are two protective mechanisms to prevent it from occurring in living organisms.
