Until recently most historians spoke very critically of the Industrial Revolution. They   41   that in the long run industrialization greatly raised the standard of living for the   42   man. But they insisted that its   43   results during the period from 1750 to 1850 were widespread poverty and misery for the   44   of the English population.    45   contrast, they saw in the preceding hundred years from 1650 to1750, when England was still a   46   agricultural country, a period of great abundance and prosperity.
The view,   47  , is generally thought to be wrong. Specialists   48   history and economics, have   49   two things: that the period from 1650 to 1750 was   50   by great poverty, and that industrialization certainly did not worsen and may have actually improved the conditions for the majority of the populace.

Sleep is divided into periods of so-called REM sleep, characterized by rapid eye movements and dreaming, and longer periods of non-REM sleep.    41    kind of sleep is at all well-understood, but REM sleep is   42   to serve some restorative function of the brain. The purpose of non-REM sleep is even more   43  . The new experiments, such as these   44   for the first time at a recent meeting of the Society for Sleep Research in Minneapolis, suggest fascinating explanations   45   of non-REM sleep.
