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.

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
