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##昨天讀瞭之後 得到瞭久違的9小時睡眠... demystify瞭很多問題 比如REM做夢其實是很有用的 像是一種overnight therapy 幫你去重組處理日間的不良情緒；比如喝酒根本無法讓你“睡得更好” 隻是讓你進入瞭一種麻醉狀態而已；比如褪黑素隻能幫助你提前召喚來睡覺的時間 具體質量是幫不瞭的；比如咖啡真的是一種被我們abuse的興奮劑；比如真的有晨型人和夜型人。我們都會因為各種原因遇到一些sleeping difficulties 但不代錶我們有insomnia 減少睡前藍光的接受 帶著好心態 好好睡覺吧
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##二十一世紀夢的解析，再見弗洛伊德式idiosyncrasy

評分##https://peterattiamd.com/matthewwalker1/ 作者聊瞭總共三期的Podcast
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##A must-read for everyone! Can’t stress enough how important an 8-hour sleep is!
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）
