'It had a powerful effect on me' Observer
'I urge you all to read this book' Times Higher Education

Sleep is one of the most important aspects of our life, health and longevity and yet it is increasingly neglected in twenty-first-century society, with devastating consequences: every major disease in the developed world - Alzheimer's, cancer, obesity, diabetes - has very strong causal links to deficient sleep.
Until very recently, science had no answer to the question of why we sleep, or what good it served, or why its absence is so damaging to our health. Compared to the other basic drives in life - eating, drinking, and reproducing - the purpose of sleep remained elusive.
Now, in this book, the first of its kind written by a scientific expert, Professor Matthew Walker explores twenty years of cutting-edge research to solve the mystery of why sleep matters. Looking at creatures from across the animal kingdom as well as major human studies, Why We Sleep delves in to everything from what really happens during REM sleep to how caffeine and alcohol affect sleep and why our sleep patterns change across a lifetime, transforming our appreciation of the extraordinary phenomenon that safeguards our existence.

Anonim a dat nota:

Una din cartile-studiu cele mai fascinante pe care le-am citit, captivanta de la inceput pana la sfarsit. Pe alocuri, chiar amuzanta - neasteptat pentru o astfel de carte. Mi se pare una din acele carti pe care TOTI at trebui sa o citim. Dupa ce o termini, iti ramane acel sentiment de "cum sa fac sa prioritizez cele 8 ore de somn in fiecare noapte". Sunt dezvaluite rezultatele multor cercetari din domeniul somnului, un exemplu fiind faptul ca dupa o noapte cu mai putin de 5 ore dormite, scad cu 70% celulele care omoara in mod natural celulele cancerigene din organism. Restul - in carte.


Anonim a dat nota:

Carte foarte utila si importanta pentru toata lumea-somnul este unul din cele mai importante lucruri pe care le avem in viata asta.


Anonim a dat nota:

Lucruri foarte interesante despre somn, igiena somnului, date stiitifice spuse simplu, pe intelesul tuturor. Sfaturi bune despre un somn mai bun, insomnii si alte tulburari de somn. Multe lucruri noi si interesante despre ce face o noapte de somn bun pentru sanatatea creierului.
