Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams
Neuroscientist and sleep expert Matthew Walker provides a revolutionary exploration of sleep, examining how it affects every aspect of our physical and mental well-being.
Charting the most cutting-edge scientific breakthroughs, and marshalling his decades of research and clinical practice, Walker's Why We Sleep is a stimulating and important book that explains how a person can harness sleep to improve learning, mood and energy levels, regulate hormones, prevent cancer, Alzheimer's and diabetes, slow the effects of aging, and increase longevity.
"Why We Sleep mounts a persuasive, exuberant case for addressing our societal sleep deficit and for the virtues of sleep itself. It is recommended for night-table reading in the most pragmatic sense.” -- New York Times Book Review
