Description
- Why We Sleep Book, Matthew Walker'Matthew Walker is probably one of the most influential people on the planet' Evening Standard
- 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.
- 'Startling, vital ... a life-raft' Guardian
- 'A top sleep scientist argues that sleep is more important for our health than diet or exercise' The Times
