Description

A fascinating, pedagogical and easy-to-understand guide that explains the essential role of that sleep and dreams play in your heath and emotional balance. It answers all those questions you often ask: Do screens interfere with falling asleep? What are the dangers of sleeping pills? What are dreams for? How can we tell when we are lacking in sleep? Is taking a nap useful? What are the best conditions for a good night’s sleep?

Matthew Walker, professor of neuroscience and psychology at the University of Berkeley, explains what sleep is, what its cycles are and how it changes throughout your lifetime. He points out its many benefits and alerts us to the fact that we often lack sleep, thus putting our health at risk. Depression, weight gain, increased risk of infarcts and strokes, infertility and weakening of the immune system are all potential consequences of lack of sleep.

The book also covers different sleep disorders, such as insomnia, sleep-walking and narcolepsy. It analyses all the factors that may affect sleep: light, alcohol, room temperature, shift work, etc. and gives you numerous tips on how to obtain restorative sleep.
