Hypnagogic hallucinations

Is a disorder of sleep-wake control in which elements of sleep intrude into wakefulness and elements of wakefulness intrude into sleep. The result is the classic tetrad of chronic daytime sleepiness with varying amounts of cataplexy (sudden loss of muscle tone), hypnagogic hallucinations, and sleep paralysis. All patients have sleepiness, but only one-third of patients will have all of these symptoms. 

In western Europe today an infant mortality rate of around 9 per 1000 live births is the norm. In early modern England it was some fifteen times higher, and else where worse still: before 1750 France had over 200 deaths per 1000 live births, Geneva 296. Expectation of life at birth typically averaged under thirty years (though huge infant and childhood mortality rates skew that figure). In cities deaths exceeded births, and towns depended on an influx of incomers from the countryside to maintain the population. The young of all classes were at greatest risk-from the bloody flux, scarlet fever, whooping cough, influenza, smallpox, pneumonia; these and a multitude of now unidentifiable fevers killed perhaps 40 percent of Europe's children before the age of fifteen. - The Greatest Benefit to Mankind

There is no document of civilization that is not at the same time a document of barbarism. - Walter Benjamin
