Why we sleep

A book by the world's leading neuroscientist to discover the power of sleep and dreaming

How many hours did you sleep tonight? If less than eight, then, like most of humanity, you suffer from sleep deprivation. And you lose the best. People who enjoy enough sleep are healthier, smarter, slimmer, more attractive and happier. Look for the cause of your fatigue and health problems in a lack of good sleep and then elsewhere.

The book by world-leading neuroscientist Matthew Walker reveals the latest insights from sleep research and shows that evolution did not accidentally equip us with this defenseless and unproductive phase of the daily rhythm. Thanks to the breakthrough development and availability of imaging methods, science can answer for the first time in history why we sleep at all, how sleep benefits our body and brain, and why unsolved long-term sleep deprivation has such devastating consequences for our health.

In a fascinating way, Walker explains how sleep affects logical decision-making, learning and memory, adjusting our emotions and our immune system, as well as metabolism and appetite. And convincingly demonstrates that chronic lack of quality sleep can not only kill us in many different ways, but also influence the decision-making and behavior of society as a whole.

Get to know the latest scientific discoveries that will help you understand the elixir of health, happiness and wisdom in your lives (and beds). In the book you will also find advice on how to remove various bad habits and other obstacles that prevent good sleep for you and your loved ones. The book has been translated into over 30 languages and is already changing the lives of individuals and societies.

“This is not a book, but a manual for the secretive superpower of all of us: quality sleep that heals, regenerates and keeps our body and brain in perfect shape. One of the most important health books ever. ”

Financial Times
