Sleep plays a crucial role in our waking lives, and we need to
start paying it more attention. The latest research tells us that
it's essential for learning and memory, for mental health and
physical well-being, and yet we tend to only think about it when
it's proving a struggle. Nodding Off leads you on a fascinating
journey through the science of sleep as it evolves throughout our
lives; from babies to teenagers, from middle age to the later years
of our life, there are constantly new challenges to our sleep.
Based on knowledge accumulated over almost two decades as a sleep
researcher, Professor Alice Gregory shares real-life stories and
interviews with other sleep experts to find the answers to
questions, such as: Why do so many adolescents enjoy lying in at
the weekends? Why do children experiencing anxiety, behavioural
problems or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder so often have
co-occurring sleep problems? Why are scientists turning to sleep
disorders such as sleep paralysis to try to understand paranormal
experiences? With important tips on improving your sleep, Nodding
Off is an essential read for anyone who sleeps, and more important
still for those who don't get enough. Fans of Matthew Walker's Why
We Sleep will love this book!
