The sleep revolution : transforming your life, one night at a time

We are facing a sleep deprivation crisis with significant repercussions on health, job performance, relationships, and overall happiness. The author asserts that a sleep revolution is essential for reclaiming control over our lives. Through a comprehensive exploration of sleep, she highlights the emerging science that underscores its critical role in health issues such as weight gain, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and Alzheimer’s. The cultural tendency to view sleep as wasted time not only jeopardizes our health and decision-making but also impacts our work, personal lives, and intimacy. The book examines the latest research on sleep and dreams, critiques the harmful sleeping pill industry, and addresses how our technology addiction disrupts sleep patterns. It also includes practical recommendations from leading scientists on achieving better, restorative sleep and harnessing its benefits. In our fast-paced, always-connected world, the need for quality sleep is more crucial yet elusive than ever. This work raises awareness of the global sleep crisis and offers a detailed roadmap for a transformative sleep awakening that can enhance our lives, communities, and the world at large.
