Sleep may be induced by administration of fatty acid primary amides, includes cis-9,10-octadecenoamide. Furthermore, sleep deprivation may be assayed by analyzing cerebrospinal fluid with respect to the presence of fatty acid primary amides, including cis-9,10-octadecenoamide. The presence of cis-9,10-octadecenoamide in cerebrospinal fluid is correlated with comparative sleep deprivation. |
