具體描述
The first sleep book by a leading scientific expert—Professor Matthew Walker, Director of UC Berkeley’s Sleep and Neuroimaging Lab—reveals his groundbreaking exploration of sleep, explaining how we can harness its transformative power to change our lives for the better.
Sleep is one of the most important but least understood aspects of our life, wellness, and longevity. 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.
An explosion of scientific discoveries in the last twenty years has shed new light on this fundamental aspect of our lives. Now, preeminent neuroscientist and sleep expert Matthew Walker gives us a new understanding of the vital importance of sleep and dreaming. Within the brain, sleep enriches our ability to learn, memorize, and make logical decisions. It recalibrates our emotions, restocks our immune system, fine-tunes our metabolism, and regulates our appetite. Dreaming mollifies painful memories and creates a virtual reality space in which the brain melds past and present knowledge to inspire creativity.
Walker answers important questions about sleep: how do caffeine and alcohol affect sleep? What really happens during REM sleep? Why do our sleep patterns change across a lifetime? How do common sleep aids affect us and can they do long-term damage? Charting cutting-edge scientific breakthroughs, and synthesizing decades of research and clinical practice, Walker explains how we can harness sleep to improve learning, mood, and energy levels; regulate hormones; prevent cancer, Alzheimer’s, and diabetes; slow the effects of aging; increase longevity; enhance the education and lifespan of our children, and boost the efficiency, success, and productivity of our businesses. Clear-eyed, fascinating, and accessible, Why We Sleep is a crucial and illuminating book

##介紹瞭很多比較新的關於睡眠和夢的實驗和理論，挺好的。另外也附有很實用的助睡指南，最關鍵的一條：每天按時睡覺按時起床。
評分##作為一個以研究睡眠為生的人，我最開始覺得，寫睡眠的科普書對我還有什麼新意？故而雖然早在一年前就聽過作者的新鮮空氣訪談，還是沒有找來看。但真正聽完瞭全書，卻意外地發現自己學到很多新東西，也許是因為背景知識儲備比較充分，所以新東西容易吸收，但同時確實也是因為作者寫得清楚有條理，而且在很多地方，尤其是睡眠在進化中的作用、以及睡眠的神經機製方麵有很多獨到見解。總之非常推薦。
