2017 'Vital ... a life-raft' Guardian 'A top sleep scientist argues
that sleep is more important for our health than diet or exercise'
The Times 'It had a powerful effect on me' Observer 'I urge you all
to read this book' Times Higher Education 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. Until very recently, science had
no answer to the question of why we sleep, or what good it served,
or why its absence is so damaging to our health. Compared to the
other basic drives in life - eating, drinking, and reproducing -
the purpose of sleep remained elusive. Now, 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
in to 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.
