Über diesen Titel
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.
But an explosion of scientific discoveries in the last 20 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. Among so many other things, 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 immensely accessible, Why We Sleep is the crucial account on sleep that will forever change listeners' minds on the subject.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

We don't sleep enough. We must. Here's how.
This book contains pretty much everything about sleep: its amazing benefits, our lack of it, what happens when we don't have enough sleep and how to fix it. Some takeaways:
- Dreams and sleep stretch our imagination, boost our IQ, memory, sex drive, physical capabilities and overall health.
- Sleep deprivation gives you cancer, in addition to a bunch of other diseases.
- Give yourself 7-9 hrs of opportunity to sleep every night
- You can't make up over the weekend for the sleep you didn't have over the week
- Your bedroom should be 1-2 degrees colder when you're about to sleep. Taking a shower before bed also helps.
- Take a short nap in the early afternoon if you can, like a siesta.
- Stop getting caffeine at least 8 hours before bed
The narration was very slow and sleep-inducing. I don't know if this was on purpose but it was a bit boring at times.

A paradigm shift
A paradigm shift for me. This book makes me make sleep as a priority on my daily schedule. And the result is amazing. I am more productive and less grumpy.

In-depth sleep analysis that fails to grasp
I bought this audio book specifically because I was very interested in the topic of sleep and because I wanted to find a way to help my friends and family get some better shuteye at night.
Listening to this taught me a lot about how sleep works, however, I found it difficult to listen to it in its entirety. In my opinion, it focuses on the topics at hand for too long and brings little variety with it. I would've also loved to hear about possible side effects of getting MORE than 8 hours of sleep, since there's a lot of people doing that too. What happens if you sleep 10+ hours a day? There isn't an answer to that in this book, as far as I've listened. To be fair, I skipped the last chapter because I just wasn't interested anymore at that point.
A chapter specifically about how to get high-quality sleep would've been great too, instead of sprinkling the information across all the chapters, making it difficult to remember all of the advice.
That being said, I think this book can provide some value for people who want a really in-depth analysis of the importance of sleep, but it doesn't really provide very many actionable and practical things to take with you into daily life.

Amazingly informative, unfitting reader
The benefits of sleep and the dangers of sleep deprivation have never been clearer to me than whilst listening to this audio book. To me, the speaker sounds like he's reading an adventure book and his overexpression distracts from what is a book of popular science. I wish the author had done the reading himself.

A must read if you want to live longer and prosper
Fascinating facts on the absolute importance of sleep for all living beings presented in an entertaining, informative and memorable way. That is, the latter most if all if you get enough sleep after each read. Ending with a 12 item list of advice and a vision for a (digitally enhanced) personalized sleep optimization that could change (nearly) all of our lives.

That Narrator!!!
Why We Sleep is very well witten. It’s interesting and packed with information based on latest sleep research.
The reader/listener not only gets scientific information but also some practical tips on how to increase sleep quantity and quality.
The only drawback is the narrator’s voice! It’s truly sleep inducing. That’s a pity, as dozing off makes me miss interesting information. And scrolling back to find the point I started to miss out is not easy, given the monotonous voice.
The chapters are quite long, too. Maybe they could have been divided into shorter sub-chapters.
