Why We Sleep: The New Science of Sleep and Dreams Paperback - 2018

by Matthew Walker


Summary

Sleep is one of the most important aspects of our life, health and longevity and yet it is increasingly neglected in twenty-first-century society, with devastating consequences: every major disease in the developed world - Alzheimer’s, cancer, obesity, diabetes - has very strong causal links to deficient sleep.

Looking at creatures from across the animal kingdom as well as major human studies, Why We Sleep delves into everything from what really happens during REM sleep to how caffeine and alcohol affect sleep and why our sleep patterns change across a lifetime, transforming our appreciation of the extraordinary phenomenon that safeguards our existence. ‘Startling, vital ... a life-raft’ Guardian ‘A top sleep scientist argues that sleep is more important for our health than diet or exercise’ The Times
