Craig H. Heller
Sleep is the subject of intense scientific debate among biologists and neuroscientists. Why must we spend about one-third of our lives asleep? What exactly is sleep? Why does a lack of sleep impair our cognitive abilities and leave us vulnerable to a host of medical issues ranging from obesity to reduced resistance to infectious disease?
These 24 engrossing lectures take you to the forefront of the field to reveal what happens in the sleeping brain right down to the cellular and molecular level. You'll investigate what biological changes occur during wakefulness that are reversed during sleep - and why your brain forces you to fall asleep to repay an accumulated sleep deficit, no matter how dangerous the circumstances.
The science of sleep encompasses basic concepts of electricity, neuroanatomy, and neurochemistry, which are responsible for the "architecture of sleep." Professor Heller explains the science behind our circadian rhythms, REM and non-REM sleep, the physiology of dreaming, and more.
Sleep pathologies and disorders are among the most fascinating topics of the course. From disorders such as sleep apnea, narcolepsy, and restless leg syndrome to parasomnias such as sleepwalking and night terrors, the most up-to-date findings in the science of sleep are truly riveting.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, I would recommend this book to a friend. I learned so much about the mechanics and biology of sleep. Much of it I have been able to use in various ways to help me sleep better.What does Professor Craig H. Heller bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
His tone indicates he loves this topic and is passionate about it. He brought difficult to understand topics within my reach.Extremely well done, informational and interesting

What did you like best about Secrets of Sleep Science: From Dreams to Disorders? What did you like least?
I've loved learning about sleep from the time I understood that my father and I were night owls and my sister and mother were morning birds... and why do my oldest son and I have night terrors (even as an adult I have them) and my other son doesn't... I was always wondering what made us so different!This is a great book that introduces some concepts I didn't know about (even after all of my reading over the years) but the professor gets into some very technical information on neurochemistry.
Would you be willing to try another book from The Great Courses? Why or why not?
of course! I've got many of them already...Did the narration match the pace of the story?
yes, the professor was very good - I'd definitely recommend *not* listening to this on 1.5 ;)Was Secrets of Sleep Science: From Dreams to Disorders worth the listening time?
yesAny additional comments?
This course left me wanting to ask the professor questions - I'll be sending him an email.Great information, *very* technical

One of the best

Turns out, seep is important not only to the brain and memory, but also the rest of the body, like immune and cardiovascular systems.
Health conditions, like sleep apnea, effect sleep quality, so sleep is not only good hours.
There are theories based on some research and speculations in this book, so there is room for lots of research.
Sleep deprivation is bad for the genetal health and the quality of life, so make sure you keep a good sleep hygiene.
Sweet dreams.
A school course, but totally worth it!
