Why do we sleep? Are we sleeping enough? Do we suffer stress from
"sleep debt"? Why do some of us struggle with sleep disorders? And
how can we tackle sleep problems? These are the kinds of questions
that make many of us toss and turn all night.
Jim Horne finds answers to these questions and many more in
Sleepfaring, a journey through the science and the secrets of
sleep. He reveals what goes on in our brains behind the veil of
sleep, looks at body clocks, the values of napping, and the
controversial question of "sleep debt," and also gives some hints
from the latest sleep research that may just help you get a better
night's rest. In recent years, the nature of sleep, our sleeping
patterns, how much sleep we need, and the dangers of lack of sleep
have become increasingly important, as people work longer hours,
styles of working have altered, and the separation between
workplace and home has been eroded by cell phones and the internet.
From drowsiness at the wheel, to stress and insomnia, this is a
subject that truly matters to people. Horne draws on the latest
research in brain physiology, psychology, medicine, and the many
social factors that contribute to sleep problems to reveal what
science has discovered about sleep, and problems related to
sleep-from snoring to sleep apnea. Nor does Horne shy away from
controversy, challenging, for example, the conventional wisdom on
the amount of sleep we actually need.
For anyone wishing to know more about the many mysterious
processes that begin when we close our eyes each night, Sleepfaring
offers a wealth of insight and information.
