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

##Rem is important. Deep sleep is important. Regular sleep time is important.
評分##最主要是兩點收獲：1、科學的闡述瞭費洛伊德解析夢那套的誤導與錯誤，有從地方天圓到地圓天方的醍醐灌頂之感，原來做做夢是伴隨REM sleep對mental health有各種效果的生理特徵，失戀、離婚後的夢並不是簡單的日有所思，而是它在幫助我們消化情緒。2、睡眠跟飲食、鍛煉一樣，並非鐵闆一塊，而是各個階段的配閤，熬夜損失3小時的REM sleep並不是第二天多睡4小時能彌補的，是失去瞭70%的REM sleep時間，要跟飲食分蔬菜、蛋白、水果、碳水一樣認真對待睡眠。sleep deprivation比日常大傢防癌的那些細節更緻癌以及增加各種慢性病的風險，一直後悔高中沉默網遊耽擱學業讀完這本書第一次後悔耽擱瞭自己青春期的寶貴睡眠。從今往後，中午12點後不喝咖啡，晚上10後盡量不看LED。
評分##Rem is important. Deep sleep is important. Regular sleep time is important.
評分##這是一本安利睡覺的書。十四個小時說瞭一句話：睡得好讓你精神好、心情好、學習好、顔值高、胖不瞭、創意足、掙錢多、省醫療、開車安全、少得癌晚癡呆、死不瞭。反過來就是說，不好好睡覺會讓你變胖、變醜、變學渣、差領導、開車危險、抑鬱跑不瞭、男的蛋蛋變小娘娘化生不瞭、早癡呆多得癌、老得快、死得早。
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。
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##2020 #4 || 一本顛覆認知的乾貨書（恰好閱讀於身體欠佳時期）；對我最大的影響就是不再熬夜並且關心自己的睡眠狀況；適當午休；完全戒酒（睡前酒）；戒掉瞭下午時段咖啡因的攝入；如同作者所言，睡眠是人生最關鍵最重要的環節，卻很容易在現代社會被大眾忽視。
評分##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。
