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

2020 #4 || 一本颠覆认知的干货书(恰好阅读于身体欠佳时期);对我最大的影响就是不再熬夜并且关心自己的睡眠状况;适当午休;完全戒酒(睡前酒);戒掉了下午时段咖啡因的摄入;如同作者所言,睡眠是人生最关键最重要的环节,却很容易在现代社会被大众忽视。

总之,鼓吹每天睡三小时看四点钟的洛杉矶,是现代人类最愚蠢的观念之一。普通的说,这本书讲的很多新研究结论很有意思,比如晚上喝酒、吃褪黑素对睡眠其实危害巨大。但是我更看重作者的私货:“既然演化让几乎所有动物都具有睡眠这种近乎自杀性的行为,那么一定有什么重要得要命的理由。”作者对这个理由的猜测是我见过的最接近准确的答案:nREM睡眠是腾空临时记忆空间,而REM睡眠是将这些存储转移到永久存储中;而梦的作用... 总之,鼓吹每天睡三小时看四点钟的洛杉矶,是现代人类最愚蠢的观念之一。普通的说,这本书讲的很多新研究结论很有意思,比如晚上喝酒、吃褪黑素对睡眠其实危害巨大。但是我更看重作者的私货:“既然演化让几乎所有动物都具有睡眠这种近乎自杀性的行为,那么一定有什么重要得要命的理由。”作者对这个理由的猜测是我见过的最接近准确的答案:nREM睡眠是腾空临时记忆空间,而REM睡眠是将这些存储转移到永久存储中;而梦的作用是让人对一段记忆安全地去除感情。 (展开)
