The hypnagogic state, on the awake/sleep interface, has received scant attention from professionals. The most detailed review of the state, conducted by Schacter (1976) noted that "There are no standard experimental procedures, comprehensive theoretical systems or well-know empirical controversies" (p.152). Holt (1964.), Hebb (1968) and Tart (1969) all noted the lack of discussion in the psychological literature on the subject.
