Talk:Basic rest–activity cycle

Now styled as "basic rest-activity cycle" edit

http://www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/oi/authority.20110803095450905 shows it this styled this way, with a hyphen-minus rather than an ndash. To my eye, an ndash would render this as (basic rest)–(activity cycle) which is not the right semantics. Certainly, regardless of symbol, rest-activity is intended to be read as a balanced phrase. — MaxEnt 04:45, 28 February 2017 (UTC)Reply

Possible waste of time edit

BRAC seems to be an idea that sank without a ripple. Very difficult to find contemporary articles on this subject. It's dishonest to present Kleitman as discovering 90-minute cycles in sleep, then to suggest that "he went on" to conceive of BRAC, as though it's a fruitful concept full of promise. Rather, he read the Italian research on 50-minute cycles in infants, that made him more flexible when he interpreted the data about sleep cycles, end of story.
