Holger Seitz analyses wakefulness as an independent phenomenon, as a characteristic trait of consciousness. Here, the author connects various subjects under one perspective in order to create a new access to something that is apparently already known. Based on the findings of sleep, psychological and neurobiological research as well as certain aspects of social sciences he develops an interesting and enlightening argumentation which demonstrates that wakefulness is not the opposite of sleep but rather the opposite of non-wakefulness. This creative assumption is theoretically and practically relevant as it not only fuels our own thinking but can have a practical meaning for one’s life.
