This  Greek  physician's writings ranged  from  clinical observations of illnesses, surgical anatomy, surgery and sleep.
 
Hippocrates: " I have known many persons in sleep groaning…some in a state of suffocation...“
 
Book III -  In different ages, the …complaints occur: to  newborn children,  …coughs, sleeplessness...
 
Book III - To the old, dysnoea accompanied with coughs, …pains  of the joints...insomnolency  (insomnolency = lack of sleepiness ?
 
Section II - When sleep…ends delirium, it is a good symptom.
 
Section II - Both sleep and insomnolency, when immoderate, are not good.
