Sleep consumes a third of our lives, yet we tend to only think
about it when it's proving a struggle - when a baby is born, if we
develop insomnia, or when ageing brings new challenges to our
slumber. The latest research tells us that sleep is essential for
learning and memory, for mental health and well-being, and for
optimal physical health. We also know that our sleep evolves
throughout our lives, changing from baby to child to teenager and
beyond. Sleep plays a crucial role in our waking lives, and we need
to start paying it more attention. Nodding Off leads you on a
fascinating journey through the science of sleep throughout our
lives. Based on knowledge accumulated over almost two decades as a
sleep researcher, Professor Alice Gregory shares real-life stories
as well as insightful discussions with other sleep experts. She
answers questions such as: Why are certain babies so much harder to
settle to sleep than others? Why do children experiencing anxiety,
behavioural problems or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder so
often have co-occurring sleep problems? Why do so many adolescents
enjoy lying in at the weekends? Why are scientists turning to sleep
disorders such as sleep paralysis to try to understand paranormal
experiences? Could prioritising sleep could help us control our
weight and increase our attractiveness? Are sleep problems an
inevitable part of ageing? Throughout this book there are important
tips on helping you improve your sleep, which will allow you to
feel better during the time you're awake. It is an essential read
for anyone considering embracing the zeitgeist of prioritising
sleep, and is perhaps even more important for those daring to
resist.
