Letter: For the record

Published 19 July 2003

• Several readers have pointed out a discrepancy in the graphics that accompanied “To sleep, perchance to dream” (28 June, p 28). One showed humans getting about 1 hour of REM in a typical night’s sleep, while another showed us clocking up 3 hours. Both are wrong. The average person gets about 2 hours of REM each night.
