For so readily corresponding with me by mail or e-mail: Mary Carskadon, Kathy Lee, Mike Bonnett, Monika Woolsey, Bob Stickgold, Eve Van Cauter, Bob Sack, Ernie Hartmann, Lee Kavanau, and Bob Ogilvie. For visiting and speaking at Luther College: Bill Dement, Gayle Delaney, and Peter Hauri. For sharing rooms while at sleep meetings: I. N. Pigarev, Barry Karkow, and Larry Scrima. For extended conversations at meetings: Bill Domhoff, Kelley Bulkeley, John Shepard, Alan Siegel, Jerry Rosen, Carlyle Smith, Henry Lahmeyer, Carol Landis, Bob McCarley, Merrill Mitler, Misha Radulovacki, Tim Roehrs, and Barry Sterman. For hosting me on sabbatical: Roz Cartwright at Rush Medical College in Chicago and Phil Westbrook at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. And finally, for the many students over the years who have worked with me on research and asked insightful questions in class. I also would like to heartily thank Luther College for granting me a sabbatical leave and the Psychology Department at Colorado State University for providing me with an office and wonderful colleagues while I wrote this book. Additionally, I found the technical assistance from CSU psychology staff members Donna Merwarth and Ginger Lacy most helpful.
