We often hear that humans spend one third of their lives
sleeping--and most of us would up that fraction if we could.
Whether we're curling up for a brief lunchtime catnap, catching a
doze on a sunny afternoon, or clocking our solid eight hours at
night, sleeping is normally a reliable way to rest our heads and
recharge our minds. And our bodies demand it: without sufficient
sleep, we experience changes in mood, memory loss, and difficulty
concentrating. Symptoms of sleep deprivation can be severe, and we
know that sleep is essential for restoring and rejuvenating
muscles, tissue, and energy. And yet, although science is making
remarkable inroads into the workings and functions of sleep, many
aspects still remain a mystery. In The Science of Sleep, sleep
expert Wallace B. Mendelson explains the elements of human sleep
states and explores the variety of sleep disorders afflicting
thousands of people worldwide. Mendelson lays out the various
treatments that are available today and provides a helpful guide
for one of life's most important activities. By offering the first
scientific yet accessible account of sleep science, Mendelson
allows readers to assess their personal relationships with sleep
and craft their own individual approaches to a comfortable and
effective night's rest. Addressing one of the major public health
issues of the day with cutting-edge research and empathetic
understanding, The Science of Sleep is the definitive illustrated
reference guide to sleep science.
