Why We Sleep: Unlocking The Power Of Sleep And Dreams

Sleep is a subject we always disregard we just know we have to sleep 7-8 hours but this book is very interesting to understand the meaning and how to have a good quality of sleep. Recommended

A scientific social book that tackles the importance of sleep from quite new perspectives. You can take a home massage from every paper you read and will change your life if you apply it content

We all know that sleep is important, in this book the ‘Why’ question gets thoroughly and methodically answered in layman’s words. Love it, it’s my favorite book of the year so far!

I've been to several bookstores and this was out of stock. Fortunate enough to find one here. The best book I've read so far. Thank you.

It is a very informative book.

Excellent book that really details sleep and tells you just how important it is. It's written in a very easy to read structure and makes it accessible to even those who don't have a technical background. For such an important function of life, we really don't know know much about sleep but Matthew Walker does a fantastic job describing the details.

Im a type of person that really cares about paper quality and book smells. This is not a paperback but a mass market paperback, which was not mentioned in the description. The 2 stars are in no way related to the book or the author, but the quality of papers and a too big print.

Everything is fine except the front cover is cheap like paper, with no gloss on it. Returned

I can't say anything about the book yet, I'm sure it's good... But I was upset by the condition it arrived in. It's sticky and scratched. It looks as if it's already been read, and it's unpleasant to hold. The price was ok, otherwise I would return it straight away

Lettura estremamente interessante ed educativa: esaustiva, dettagliata, con decine di studi scientifici a supporto degli argomenti trattati. Descritto così sembra quasi si tratti di un libro universitario, ma non lo è affatto! L'autore, professore di Neuroscienza e Psicologia e direttore di un laboratorio di ricerca su sonno e neuroimaging, è riuscito a mettere a terra l'argomento in maniera da rendere la lettura interessante, piacevole, e soprattutto di facile comprensione. Sicuramente consigliato a chi, come me, è sempre stato incuriosito dal sonno e voglia saperne di più. Tra gli argomenti più interessanti in mia opinione: cos'è il sonno e dove ha origine, a che cosa serve, come cambia nel corso della vita, quali possono essere gli innumerevoli effetti del dormire poco (ad esempio su apprendimento ed emotività), a cosa servono i sogni, e come sia possibile migliorare il proprio sonno senza ricorrere a farmaci.

Excellent livre. Il m'a fait conscientiser que j'ai de sérieux problèmes de sommeil. De plus, j'ai remarqué que mon conjoint est furieux les matins où il n'a pas dormi assez.

This book compiles a lot of scientific findings about sleep. Sleep is essential for our mental and physical health. A lack of sleep can cause many serious problems. I have changed my recognition of sleep entirely. I want to recommend everyone who engages in health care.

It's a very interesting book for anyone who's interested in how to improve your life by... sleeping. It explains all kinds of processes that take place in our brain while we sleep, as well as all its benefits (that we are not aware of). Everybody should read it, it is helpful to establish healthy sleeping habits.
