'Astonishing ... an amazing book ... absolutely chocker full of things that we need to know' Chris Evans

'Matthew Walker is probably one of the most influential people on the planet' Evening Standard

THE #1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
TLS, OBSERVER, SUNDAY TIMES, FT, GUARDIAN, DAILY MAIL AND EVENING STANDARD BOOKS OF THE YEAR 2017

Sleep is one of the most important aspects of our life, health and longevity and yet it is increasingly neglected in twenty-first-century society, with devastating consequences: every major disease in the developed world - Alzheimer's, cancer, obesity, diabetes - has very strong causal links to deficient sleep.

In this book, the first of its kind written by a scientific expert, Professor Matthew Walker explores twenty years of cutting-edge research to solve the mystery of why sleep matters. Looking at creatures from across the animal kingdom as well as major human studies, Why We Sleep delves into everything from what really happens during REM sleep to how caffeine and alcohol affect sleep and why our sleep patterns change across a lifetime, transforming our appreciation of the extraordinary phenomenon that safeguards our existence.

'Startling, vital ... a life-raft' Guardian

'A top sleep scientist argues that sleep is more important for our health than diet or exercise' The Times

'Passionate, urgent . . . it had a powerful effect on me' Observer

A top sleep scientist argues that sleep is more important for our health than diet or exercise (The Times)

I urge you all to read this book (Times Higher Education)

Passionate, urgent, convincing ... it had a powerful effect on me (Rachel Cooke Observer)

Most of us have no idea what we do with a third of our lives. In this lucid and engaging book, Matt Walker explains the new science that is rapidly solving this age-old mystery. Why We Sleep is a canny pleasure that will have you turning pages well past your bedtime (Daniel Gilbert, author of Stumbling on Happiness)

My sleep habits have changed since I started this book. Hope it's not too late for me.

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Not a light read because the writer has (quite rightly) included details of many studies and findings, but the take outs and findings are invaluable for parents, educators, employers and not least of all the medical profession. I wish I had known about many of the findings when my kids were growing up.

Very interesting read and has helped me understand how my poor sleep has contributed to my current health status. I wish there was more information on how to improve sleep quality.

The academic authority of the statements is impressive. It has a lot to say about why we need and benefit from good sleep. Invaluable in my line of work.
