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.
In this book, the first of its kind written by a scientific expert,
Professor Matthew Walker explores twenty years of cutting-edge research
to solve the mystery of why sleep matters. 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.
