Sleep may be induced by administration of fatty acid primary amides, includescis-9,10-octadecenoamide. Furthermore, sleep deprivation may be assayed byanalyzing cerebrospinal fluid with respect to the presence of fatty acidprimary amides, including cis-9,10-octadecenoamide. The presence of cis-9,10-octadecenoamide in cerebrospinal fluid is correlated with comparative sleepdeprivation.
