Scribner Book Company Why We Sleep: Unlocking The Power Of Sleep And Dreams

Sleep is a subject we always disregard we just know we have to sleep 7-8 hours but this book is very interesting to understand the meaning and how to have a good quality of sleep. Recommended

We all know that sleep is important, in this book the ‘Why’ question gets thoroughly and methodically answered in layman’s words. Love it, it’s my favorite book of the year so far!

Excellent book that really details sleep and tells you just how important it is. It's written in a very easy to read structure and makes it accessible to even those who don't have a technical background. For such an important function of life, we really don't know know much about sleep but Matthew Walker does a fantastic job describing the details.

A scientific social book that tackles the importance of sleep from quite new perspectives. You can take a home massage from every paper you read and will change your life if you apply it content

I've been to several bookstores and this was out of stock. Fortunate enough to find one here.The best book I've read so far.Thank you.

It is a very informative book.

Everything is fine except the front cover is cheap like paper, with no gloss on it. Returned

Im a type of person that really cares about paper quality and book smells. This is not a paperback but a mass market paperback, which was not mentioned in the description. The 2 stars are in no way related to the book or the author, but the quality of papers and a too big print.

Get the most accurate information about how important it is to get sleep from the Sleep Scientist. I was impressed with the author, Matthew Walker, and his eloquent writing talent. My English teachers would be impressed with the quality of the diction and vocabulary. A thoroughly education and enjoyable read. Now, get some good sleep! This book will show you how important it is.

I learned a lot of things about sleep, this book is great and Matthew knows his so much subject as he is one of the best sleep expert scientist in the world.I even subscribed to the Masterclass platform in part to watch his video Masterclass, which is essentially a condensed version of the book but to hear him talk with passion about his subject was very complementary to the book. He is very well articulated and speaks clearly.Conclusion: Everyone should read this book. Sleep is so underrated in our society.

Excelente livro, muito esclarecedor.

Wer kennt sie nicht aus eigener Erfahrung oder aus dem Bekanntenkreis: die Suche nach dem "Quick Fix", dem "Hack", der Abkürzung zur gesunden Lebensweise und, immer mehr, zum gesunden Altwerden. Dabei wird viel postuliert, viel konsumiert und ausprobiert (Supplements, Nootropika, Diäten...), häufig ohne richtige Evidenz oder eigenes Verständnis.Was Matthew Walkers Buch klar zeigt: ohne eine ausreichende Menge qualitativ hochwertigen Schlafs wird man die eigenen Gesundheitsziele durch diese "Gimmicks" nicht erreichen, weder kurzfristig noch im Alter. Das Buch schafft es allerdings, dass man sich beim mühsamen (!) Streben nach 7-9 Stunden Schlaf der vielen positiven Effekte deutlich bewusst ist- ich jedenfalls habe nach einer von mir verursachten Nacht zu kurzen und miesen Schlafes fast schon ein schlechtes Gewissen.Walker transportiert diese Erkenntnise in einem unterhaltsamen und klaren Schreibstil und vermittelt dabei viele tiefgreifende Zusammenhänge zwischen Schlaf und (Patho-)Physiologie. Die Autorität dazu hat er mit seiner wissenschaftlichen Vita sicherlich, auch wenn manche Botschaften natürlich individuell gefärbt sind.Insgesamt ein Buch, das je nach Vorwissen Augen öffnet oder positive Verhaltensweisen verstärkt und klar macht: Schlaf ist eine der Säulen der Gesundheit, die man umsonst bekommt und auf keinen Fall vernachlässigen sollte.

When it comes to sleep, too few people know what it is behind it. This book is simply fantastic, it gives an overview on sleep, how it works and why it is a fundamental function. It surely changed my perspective on sleeping and I read it twice (and I am considering to read it again). Absolutely recommend
