cafe scientifique pm

A really enjoyable evening; wide age range, specialities, disciplines, etc. Lots of questions. Two to follow up, both at the extremes:
  1. If part of the sleep-promoting system is peptide(s) driven, what are the processes behind the, as I claim, exponential (ie substrate-driven) breakdown of the peptides ...
  2. At the other end, how to promote lucid dreaming? One suggestion from the audience was to incorporate an alarm clock into the pre-sleep planning and use the sound of the alarm clock as the trigger for promoting lucid dream initiation.
