About this product

Product Information

The phenomenal bestseller that's starting a sleep revolution, now in paperback 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 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 in to everything from what really happens in our brains and bodies when we dream 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.

    This book arrived in much better than "good" condition as described in the listing: I'd say "new and unread"! Excellent value, postage included in the price. Professionally packaged in recyclable cardboard and brown paper, very promptly dispatched and delivered via Royal Mail Tracked: 2 days purchase-to-delivery, so thanks for using Royal Mail ~ I always recommend them. Am very pleased with my purchase and happy to recommend this seller. Buy with confidence! Many thanks and best wishes, CJ.

    SpeedyHen are a really classy eBay seller in my opinion. Have bought from them before with no issues. Always good on delivery and packaging. One of two items purchased this time had an issue (likely from the factory) and SpeedyHen were very quick to resolve and communication was always excellent. Will always buy from these guys when the right item comes up. A firm favourite.

    Amazing book.

    My Dr recommended this book after I told him about my sleep problems. It really is a fascinating book about why we sleep and the amazing power of the brain that makes us sleep. It really did help me after I made a number of small changes in my lifestyle. A really interesting book even if your sleep is ok.

    DIFFICULT READ

    Matthew Walker is an excellent scientific Professor about anything to do with sleep. This book I didn't find inspiring.. Nothing to with with Matthew's wonderful knowledge, but because of the very small print, nothing but page after page of small text not even split up with smaller paragraphs. So you do need to concentrate. Of course everything is one's own experience, so I'm sure this book will inspire some. Matthews Walker has several videos on utube which are excellent. So I think I will watch and listen to him instead. My local charity shop was pleased to accept this book.

  • Perhaps "The Science of Sleep and Dreams" would have been more appropriate.

  • very informative book. Not too technica...

    very informative book. Not too technical for the ordinary reader. (me] Helped me understand a lot more about sleeping difficulties. Didn't realise the complexities of sleep and problems that can arise with lack of sleep.

  • Everyone should read it!

    How can you NOT be interested-we all sleep. Some new research revealing facts I certainly didn`t know.It all makes complete sense. Passing this one to several family members and might even buy another copy for a friend.
