News about sleep is everywhere we turn, and the statistics are
numbing: Some 50-70 million Americans are affected by chronic sleep
disorders and intermittent sleep problems; an estimated 30-35% of
adults complain of insomnia; one in every 25 Americans takes a
prescription sleep medication; more than a third of American adults
don't get enough sleep on a regular basis; sleep disorders account
for an estimated $16 billion in medical costs each year, plus
indirect costs due to missed days of work, decreased productivity
and related factors. And questions abound: why do we need to sleep
at all? What happens when we sleep? What happens to the brain? We
know the brain is active when we sleep, but what about the mind?
And what are dreams? An accessible and lively take on sleep, this
book provides answers to those and other key questions. Along the
way, it highlights the lessons a well-known neurologist has learned
and what he shares with his patients on a daily basis. It discusses
- in terms everyone can understand - what we know about sleep, what
can go wrong with it, and what we can do to fix it. It also delves
into what some of the great scientists and spiritual teachers have
told us about sleep. The book is packed with useful information and
suggestions that will improve all aspects of readers' lives.
