Publisher's summary

In this audiobook, you will discover much about sleep you probably didn’t know. This audiobook delves into the most important issues around sleep in easily understood detail.

If you are curious about the nature of sleep, as in how much we actually know about what sleep is, the purpose it serves in our lives, and what happens when we don’t sleep enough, you have ordered the perfect audiobook.

Inside this audiobook, you will find, in addition to other information:

  • Guidelines for how much sleep humans need in different stages of their life.
  • Details about some of the most prevalent sleep disorders, what they are, and how they affect people and also the treatments available for them.
  • Results of sleep-related research...how sleep affects our health.
  • Information about the stages we pass through as we sleep.
  • A description of what is meant by the term “Circadian Rhythm” and how this rhythm affects how you sleep.
  • Holistic home remedies you can try for mild or occasional insomnia.

Sleep is indeed a fascinating topic to learn about. In our modern world, it is so common for people to lead such packed lives. In fact, vast numbers of people pack their lives too full. Something must give, and often times the extra hours that are so badly needed to get through the day are stolen from sleep.

Before there were nine-to-five jobs, even before there were schools to attend, and of course prior to the invention of electricity, people slept entirely based on the rhythms of their bodies. Because there was no such thing as “processed foods", people ate much better as well.

Since the early 1800s, humans have come light years in terms of progress. Scientists have been discovered and been able to accomplish and achieve so much in terms of our health and overall well-being. However, in part because of that progress, we seem to have gone backward where sleep is concerned.

Very pleasant.

I heard this via audiobook from library and had to but to share with others. So insightful and life changing. We really don't treat our sleep like a necessity and we should, the science proves it is.

I can't believe how much I learned.

I can't believe how much I learned. It needs to be in every home. They need to teach this info in the schools. I'm giving it to relatives for Christmas and maybe kids for graduation.

Excellent Audiobook

My doctor recommended that I listen it, and I was so impressed I have bought copies for many of my family members. It has invaluable information regarding how sleep affects the brain, and discusses the relevance for all ages of people. I especially found the section on the developing brain of great interest.

This audible is one of the best!

I was starting to feel the effects of disrupted sleep on my body. Nothing can ever top Mother Nature and our natural biological drives. Sleep has such a powerful effect on all aspects of our health and this book really brings that to light. The research presented goes from why naps are normal biological breaks for our body to the detrimental effects of sleep on our health including certain known increases in cancer rates for night shift workers.
