Abstract
One cognitive ability that has been demonstrated in many people when asleep is the capacity to keep track of time sufficiently so that they can self-a waken when desired. Possible practical, physiological and evolutionary sour ces of this skill are outlined. Such findings help to establish the likely presence of significant cognitive ability when asleep.
