Description

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.

How we verify reviews

Any customer signed in to their account can write a review; customers without an account can write one via a link we send to the email address of a delivered order. A review that our system links to a delivered order of this product is marked as “Verified purchase”; other reviews do not carry this label. Some reviews marked as “Verified purchase” come from our previous online shop (until 27 August 2026), where likewise only customers who had made a purchase could write a review; we no longer have them matched to a specific order. We check every review against our content rules before publishing it, usually within 24 hours; a positive or negative rating is never a reason for rejection.
