Prominent among theories of the function of sleep is Meddis’ immobilization hypothesis, which holds that sleep, rather than serving a restorative function, plays a protective role during times that animals cannot be usefully engaged in other activities. Meddis reasoned that animals not immediately threatened by predators would be safer if they passed the time sleeping.

A、present the thinking that led scientists to qualify a widely accepted view
B、describe the basis on which a hypothesis was advanced

E、relate the analysis that refined a tentative explanation
