À propos de cette écoute
The first sleep book by a leading scientific expert - Professor Matthew Walker, director of UC Berkeley's Sleep and Neuroimaging Lab - reveals his groundbreaking exploration of sleep, explaining how we can harness its transformative power to change our lives for the better.
Sleep is one of the most important but least understood aspects of our life, wellness, and longevity. Until very recently, science had no answer to the question of why we sleep, or what good it served, or why we suffer such devastating health consequences when we don't sleep. Compared to the other basic drives in life - eating, drinking, and reproducing - the purpose of sleep remained elusive.
But an explosion of scientific discoveries in the last 20 years has shed new light on this fundamental aspect of our lives. Now, preeminent neuroscientist and sleep expert Matthew Walker gives us a new understanding of the vital importance of sleep and dreaming. Among so many other things, within the brain, sleep enriches our ability to learn, memorize, and make logical decisions. It recalibrates our emotions, restocks our immune system, fine-tunes our metabolism, and regulates our appetite. Dreaming mollifies painful memories and creates a virtual reality space in which the brain melds past and present knowledge to inspire creativity.
Walker answers important questions about sleep: How do caffeine and alcohol affect sleep? What really happens during REM sleep? Why do our sleep patterns change across a lifetime? How do common sleep aids affect us, and can they do long-term damage? Charting cutting-edge scientific breakthroughs and synthesizing decades of research and clinical practice, Walker explains how we can harness sleep to improve learning, mood, and energy levels; regulate hormones; prevent cancer, Alzheimer's, and diabetes; slow the effects of aging; increase longevity; enhance the education and lifespan of our children, and boost the efficiency, success, and productivity of our businesses. Clear-eyed, fascinating, and immensely accessible, Why We Sleep is the crucial account on sleep that will forever change listeners' minds on the subject.

FOOTNOTE!
The book is great. The only thing that bothered me was the way the reader said "footnote" abruptly. Really sounds like Dwite Schrute from The Office when he says "Fact!". But in this context it's not funny but rather annoying.

Fact-based and mind-blowing
A good balance of facts and numbers about sleep and everything around it, It nicely explains the whole process, all the phases and basically everything we know about the sleep so far. It also covers the typical problems and how to potentially fix them. Although, if you hope for a magical solution to sleeping problems - you won't find any here, there is none. A perfect book for everyone who believes he does not need to sleep much, or that sleep doesn't matter.

Very informative, I recommend
This book display with evidence the importance of sleep and why it should be a priority to society.
Although, if you are not really into scientific explanations, you can skip the chapters on the evolution side of sleep which is a bit technical.
Do not hesitate to offer it to people you care about

interesting but somewhat repetitive
Liked the idea of a sleep index for employees based on sleep tracker data, that you can redeem as € bonuses or time off. You need 2 features: quantity (7 to 9h sleep) and consistency (every night).
This, combined with some of the actionable tips to improve your sleep, would make for a valuable product in my opinion.

Overdone!
The author of this book is a sleep science researcher.
His work is intended to stress the importance of sleep and its benefits.
Though his claims are probably not unfounded, they appear excessive as sleep is presented as a universal remedy that can prevent cancer, heart ailments, Alzheimer’s disease, etc. It is also held out as the essential contributor to creativity, memory and even physical prowess, both for athletes and musicians.
Given the countless repetitions in the book, many may find that such urging is counter productive rather than convincing.
In addition, the author strangely states that lost sleep cannot be recovered. Why, then, should anyone bother to endeavour to improve his sleep hygiene if he is already doomed?
The book was also written before Fitbit type trackers were common so they are not discussed as such, only anticipated with a surprising assertion that they should be linked to bedroom thermostats.
For specific help with respect to better sleeping, please note the author refers his readers to the National Sleep Foundation.
