    Sleep debt is the effect of not getting enough rest and sleep; a large debt causes mental, emotional, and physical fatigue.

    Wound healing has been shown to be affected by sleep. A study conducted by Gumustekin et al. in 2004 shows sleep deprivation hindering the healing of burns on rats.

    Non-REM sleep may be an anabolic state marked by physiological processes of growth and rejuvenation of the organism's immune, nervous, muscular, and skeletal systems

    Scientists have shown numerous ways in which sleep is related to memory.

    Memory seems to be affected differently by certain stages of sleep such as REM and slow-wave sleep.

    Dreaming is the perception of sensory images and sounds during sleep, in a sequence which the dreamer usually perceives more as an apparent participant than an observer

    Sigman Roid postulated that dreams are the symbolic expression of frustrated desires that had been relegated to the unconscious mind.

    Often, people start drinking alcohol in order to get to sleep (alcohol is initially a sedative and will cause somnolence, encouraging sleep). However, being addicted to alcohol can lead to disrupted sleep, because alcohol has a rebound effect later in the night. As a result, there is strong evidence linking alcoholism and insomnia

    Horses and other herbivorous ungulates can sleep while standing, but must necessarily lie down for REM sleep (which causes muscular atony) for short periods. Giraffes, for example, only need to lie down for REM sleep for a few minutes at a time.

    Many mammals sleep for a large proportion of each 24-hour period when they are very young. However, killer whales and some dolphins do not sleep during the first month of life.

    A microsleep is an episode of sleep which may last for a fraction of a second or up to thirty seconds.

    Microsleeps (or microsleep episodes) become extremely dangerous when occurring during situations which demand continual alertness, such as driving a motor vehicle or working with heavy machinery

    For example, a microsleep episode is claimed to have been one factor contributing to the Waterfall train disaster in 2003; the driver had a heart attack and the guard who should have reacted to the train's increasing speed is said by his defender to have microslept.

    The mouth, buccal cavity, or oral cavity is the first portion of the alimentary canal that receives food and begins digestion by mechanically breaking up the solid food particles into smaller pieces and mixing them with saliva

    Some animal phyla, including vertebrates, have a complete digestive system, with a mouth at one end and an anus at the other.

    The term magnet is typically reserved for objects that produce their own persistent magnetic field even in the absence of an applied magnetic field.
