Their trick: using drugs that mimic the action of natural chemicals. Remarkably, they extended feline REM sleep from a normal six to ten minutes to nearly three hours. The Harvard cats obviously cannot describe their dreams or indicate if they really have any. But their cycles of sleep are so like those...
