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
用戶評價
##實話實說我感覺比較一般，話題是老生常談瞭，睡覺很重要，重要到睡不好會導緻種種疾病甚至死亡。也可能是我get不到當中的邏輯。前幾個月開始聽，一直很催眠，到今天終於決定聽完。也許催眠就達成瞭這本書的目的吧。睡前讀紙質書和電子書還是有差的，讀電子書會抑製身體釋放melatonin。不用錯覺自己insomnia，being sleep deprived is not insomnia。不過being sleep deprived也沒有比insomnia好到哪裏去。
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##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##反正就是要多睡覺。
