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

##反正就是要多睡覺。
評分##A must-read for everyone! Can’t stress enough how important an 8-hour sleep is!
評分##關於睡眠這件事情非常全麵的科普和解析。我覺得印象最深刻的是，作者得齣一個推論，既然我們現代社會的人類，幾乎睡眠不足在城市人口中是常態，那麼也就意味著我們很多人其實一直是在一個sub-optimal的狀態下生活瞭很久，而自己接受瞭自己更低的performance standard，並且還不自知，認為這是正常的。這是一個非常讓人concerning的發現。
評分##睡眠不足的危害微信微博上到處可見。這本書簡單來說就是再次重申睡眠不足對於身體，情緒等各方麵的負麵影響。我覺得比較有意思的是，原來REM做夢的時候，身體應該是處於paralyzed的狀態的，大腦好神奇。還有sleep on it是有科學根據的。有的篇幅略冗餘。總結下來睡眠很重要，要重視，說起來比做起來容易，要真正做到不簡單。

評分##大量關於睡眠的科學研究知識。總而言之一句話：韆萬要睡足覺啊！！！！

評分##六顆星！整本書把所有和“睡覺”有關的科學知識非常想盡的寫下來，重點是還寫得極其有趣。發現好多設計實驗的內容和過程也都特彆好玩，包括曆史上最早研究人類睡眠周期的科學傢把自己關在“暗無天日的”山洞裏的故事，等等。唯一的小bug是作者為瞭強調充足睡眠的重要性，舉例說切爾諾貝利事件可能是sleep deprivation造成的，有點失偏頗啦。（當然，按照朋友調侃的話說，你懂這麼多，依然也睡不好覺呀，這本書並不能真的幫你解決很多失眠問題，但是依然是本很棒的書呀）
