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
##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）
評分##給自己愛睡覺找到瞭理由，發現確實如此
評分##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。
