About This Item

New York:: Free Press,, (1996). Hardcover first edition -. Near fine in near fine dust jacket.. First printing. A comprehensive look at our increasingly sleep-deprived society - Coren "demonstrates that reducing sleep decreases the quality and quantity of one's work. . . sleep deprivation weakens the immune system, leaving the body more vulnerable to infection and illness, even death. He looks specifically at the effects of sleep deprivation on truck drivers, airline pilots, air traffic controllers, hospital interns and residents, and shift workers such as police and firefighters. A 1988 figure he cites gives the cost of sleep-related accidents in the US that year as $56.02 billion, and he presents persuasive evidence that the major disasters of Chernobyl, Three Mile Island, and the Exxon Valdez were all caused by human beings with too little sleep. Tucked in among the sobering data are several charts and tables, quizzes to help one analyze one's own sleep habits and needs, and some tips on overcoming jet lag and getting a good night's sleep." Notes, bibliography, index. xi, 304 pp.
