Publication:
Sleep ‘86, Proceedings of the 8th ESRS Congress,
W. P. Koella, F. Obál, H. Schulz, P. Visser (eds.),
Basel, Karger 1988

The Congress Proceedings contained the winning paper of the W. R. Hess-Prize by the Dres. Scott S. Campbell and Jürgen Zulley, Napping as a biological rhythm: disentrainment of the human sleep/wake-system. The Prize was sponsored jointly by the Gustav Fischer Verlag and Werner P. Koella. The W. R. Hess Prize was given only once, and did not become a ‘permanent fixture’, as planned by the Prize Committee. Fortunately, this was the starting point for different other prizes of the ESRS, which should follow.

  1. P. L. Parmeggiani: Central representation of sleep behavior revisited
