The study >was on circadian rhythms, sleep cycles, and many other things. >_Newsweek_ was not enough coverage. Any pointers? . John, This story had a bitter end: the young woman committed suicide a few weeks ago. If you wish any further information, you may contact: Jacques Mouret <MOURET@FRSUN12.bitnet>. Jacques is neurobiologist (and chronobiologist) and has spent many days and nights recording sleep patterns in this subject before and after the underground journey. The official diagnosis after the suicide was that of depressive disorders. I didn't meet Jacques since then and therefore don't know his point of view. . You can also write (they're not very thorough netters...): Dr J. Mouret (or Dr P. Lemoine, his colleague) Unite Clinique de Biologie Psychiatrique (UCPB) Hopital du Vinatier 95, bvd Pinel F-69500 Bron France . I hope this helps . Heiner .
