In Memoriam
William C. Dement
1928–2020
William C. Dement, the father of sleep medicine, was the inspiration for Principles and Practice of Sleep Medicine and was a chief editor starting with the first edition in 1989.
Bill was a brilliant scientist, mentor, teacher, and leader. He did some of the ground-breaking research on rapid eye movement sleep; mentored many of the most productive scientists doing sleep research; taught the most popular course ever at Stanford University, Sleep and Dreams; and played a key role in advocating for the importance of sleep to science, governments, and the public. He has affected millions of lives!
I (TR) met Bill for the first time in 1972 when he came to Cincinnati for a CME course on sleep medicine. He invited me to give two lectures and we spent most of the day together. During that day I learned about his intellect, passion for educating the public about sleep medicine, and importantly, his generosity. Over the next 40 years we had many interactions; in every instance they reinforced those initial impressions. It is important recognize that without Bill Dement, the book you are holding would not exist.
I (MK) met Bill for the first time in 1978 at a sleep meeting being held in Stanford. After I gave my presentation (I think I was the only pulmonary trained person in the room) Bill came over to me and said, “My God, you’re just a kid.” I guess I was. That was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
In about 1985, we had been discussing and thinking about whether a sleep medicine textbook was needed. We were hesitant to proceed and were actually discouraged by some colleagues who told us there wasn’t enough science to warrant a textbook. When presented with the question, Bill said, “You can’t have a field without a textbook!” The rest is history. The first edition came out in 1989; it had 730 pages. The sixth edition (2017) was exactly 1000 pages longer. Bill was instrumental in creating the field of sleep medicine. His contributions will never be forgotten. We will miss him.

From the Performing Arts
Every Tuesday, Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom (played by Dame Helen Mirren) had a private audience with her Prime Minister in the Private Audience Room on the first floor of Buckingham Palace. This is dramatized in Peter Morgan’s play The Audience. In this scene, Elizabeth is meeting with Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
Elizabeth: So, back to your weekend, and all this industriousness. Were you up very early?
Brown: Four thirty.
Elizabeth: Oh, dear.
Brown: It’s all right. I never sleep much.
Elizabeth: Since when?
Brown: Since always.
Elizabeth: Harold Wilson always used to say, “The main requirement of a Prime Minister is a good night’s sleep … and a sense of history.” Mrs. Thatcher taught herself to need very little towards the end. But I’m not sure how reassured I am by that. I like the idea of any person with the power to start nuclear war being rested. (A beat.) Besides, lack of sleep can have a knock-on effect in other areas.
Brown: Such as?
Elizabeth: One’s general sense of health. A silence. And happiness. A silence. And equilibrium.
Brown looks up. A silence. I gather there’s been some concern Brown: About what?
Elizabeth: Your happiness. Don’t worry. You wouldn’t be the first in your position to feel overwhelmed. Despondent. She searches for the right word. Depressed.

But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart As they turn your dream to shame.

From Literature
Blessings on him who first invented sleep.—It covers a man all over, thoughts and all, like a cloak.—It is meat for the hungry, drink for the thirsty, heat for the cold, and cold for the hot.—It makes the shepherd equal to the monarch, and the fool to the wise.—There is but one evil in it, and that is that it resembles death, since between a dead man and a sleeping man there is but little difference.
From DON QUIXOTE
By Saavedra M. de Cervantes
------------------------------------
“To sleep! To forget!” he said to himself with the serene confidence of a healthy man that if he is tired and sleepy, he will go to sleep at once. And the same instant his head did begin to feel drowsy and he began to drop off into forgetfulness. The waves of the sea of unconsciousness had begun to meet over his head, when all at once—it was as though a violent shock of electricity had passed over him. He started so that he leapt up on the springs of the sofa, and leaning on his arms got in a panic on to his knees. His eyes were wide open as though he had never been asleep. The heaviness in his head and the weariness in his limbs that he had felt a minute before had suddenly gone.
From ANNA KARENINA, Part IV, Chapter XVIII
By Leo Tolstoy ------------------------------------
The Body Electric
Every cell in our bodies contains a pore like a door, which says when to let in the flood of salt-ions bearing their charge, but the power in us moves much slower than the current that rushes into wires to ignite the lamp by which I undress, am told to undress by sparks that cross the gap of a synapse to pass along the message, It’s time for sleep. As I pull back the sheets, ease into bed, I think if I could only look beneath my skin, I’d see my body as alive as Hong Kong, veins of night traffic crawling along the freeways as tiny faces inside taxis look up from the glow of their phones, sensing that someone is watching.
