After 1660 the accepted notion that sleepers lay at the mercy of natural forces and supernatural agents was challenged by new medical thinking about sleep's relationship to the nervous system. This breakthrough coincided with radical changes shaping everything from sleeping hours to bedchambers. Handley's illuminating work documents a major evolution in our conscious understanding of the unconscious. 650 Sleep|xSocial aspects|zEngland|xHistory|y17th century. 650 Sleep|xSocial aspects|zEngland|xHistory|y18th century. 650 Sleeping customs|zEngland|xHistory. 650 Sleep|zEngland|xHistory. 650 Social change|zEngland|xHistory. 650 Society.|2ukslc 651 England|xSocial life and customs. 651 England|xSocial conditions. 856 40 |uhttps://www.vlebooks.com/vleweb/product/ openreader?id=Hull&isbn=9780300222135&uid=none|zGo to ebook 921 400 936 Askews
