Acerca de esta escucha

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.

Instead of after listening to it on audible. A great book, full of fascinating and useful information. I’m following it’s advice and have increased my sleep by 1-3 hours/night, and getting into deeper stages as well. I’m a PhD psychologist and sharing this information with my patients.

Should’ve gotten it on kindle from the outset

Absolutely amazing.
This book will turn you from an average Joe into a super sleep nerd. My friends and family got sick of me talking about the facts and figures quoted in this book. It set me off down a path towards sleeping more, valuing the sleep I get and a whole host of other things.

Its entertaining, interesting, funny and excellently read by the narrator.

Mind Bendingly Excellent

I had always suspected sleeping pills had a greater downside to them; this book covered them all.
It will take me a long time to actually see the benefits of ‘clean’ sleeping, but I am infused with enthusiasm and willing to stay the course.
Excellent book for anyone with an ongoing dependency on sleeping pills and everyone who wants to avoid the trap in future
