Why We Sleep - The New Science Of Sleep And Dreams (Paperback)

TLS, OBSERVER, SUNDAY TIMES, FT, GUARDIAN, DAILY MAIL AND EVENING STANDARD BOOKS OF THE YEAR 2017

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.

Absolutely everyone needs to read it. Perhaps if enough people get behind this movement, there will be less stress, trauma, anger and pain, worrying and suffering. For the first time in my life, I've been actively sleeping more, working on quality of sleep. Its helped me enormously regarding my depression and anxiety. My physical health has seen a massive improvement. Thank you Matthew Walker. You have changed my life
