Sapolsky's acclaimed and successful Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers features new chapters on how stress affects sleep and addiction, as well as new insights into anxiety and personality disorder and the impact of spirituality on managing stress. As Sapolsky explains, most of us do not lie awake at night worrying about whether we have leprosy or malaria. Instead, the diseases we fear-and the ones that plague us now-are illnesses brought on by the slow accumulation of damage, such as heart disease and cancer.

It is important to have a night's sleep that is good to be able to work and think with a clear head. Remember the soundness of your childhood sleep? Waking up at dawn's crack, feeling completely rested and energized? As we grow, it becomes harder to enjoy the benefits of deep sleep. While some people may associate with anxiety a lack of quality sleep, medical experts agree our growth hormones play a vital role in how well we sleep.

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.

Such a simple defect should be fixable, yet despite all of the resources that have been devoted to finding a pharmacological solution, depression remains stubbornly widespread.

Saves Time
Great content and concise. Using this hour to hear summaries of each chapter allow me to skip the majority of the full book when listening so I can get to the specific areas that interest / pertain to me. Well worth it and probably saved me 8+ hours of time from the full book version. Keep up the great work ZipReads.
