About Why We Sleep
Leading neuroscientist Matthew Walker's book reveals the latest discoveries in sleep research and shows that evolution did not equip us with this vulnerable, unproductive phase of the daily rhythm by accident. Revolutionary advances in accessible imaging methods now allow science to answer why we sleep, how sleep benefits our bodies and brains and why unresolved long-term sleep deprivation has such devastating consequences for health.
Walker compellingly explains the effects of sleep on logical decision-making, learning and memory, emotional regulation and the immune system, as well as metabolism and appetite. He convincingly demonstrates that a chronic lack of quality sleep can kill us in many different ways and influence the decisions and behaviour of society as a whole.
Discover the latest scientific findings and understand the elixir of health, happiness and wisdom already present in our lives and beds. The book also offers advice on removing bad habits and other obstacles that prevent you and those close to you from sleeping well. Translated into more than 30 languages, it is already changing the lives of individuals and entire communities.
