In spite of some obvious phenomenological similarities between hypnosis and sleep, they appear to be unrelated physiologically. I t will, however, be hypothesized in this report that hypnosis and sleep may share some control mechanism that may partly account for individual differences in the ability to experience hypnosis and in the ease of falling asleep and maintaining voluntary control of sleep processes.
