Sleep is one of the most important aspects of our life, health and longevity and yet it is increasingly neglected in twenty-first-century society, with devastating consequences: every major disease in the developed world - Alzheimer's, cancer, obesity, diabetes - has very strong causal links to deficient sleep.
In this book, the first of its kind written by a scientific expert, Professor Matthew Walker explores twenty years of cutting-edge research to solve the mystery of why sleep matters. Looking at creatures from across the animal kingdom as well as major human studies, Why We Sleep delves into everything from what really happens during REM sleep to how caffeine and alcohol affect sleep and why our sleep patterns change across a lifetime, transforming our appreciation of the extraordinary phenomenon that safeguards our existence.

读下来首先感觉通篇行文通畅，逻辑连贯性强，读起来非常轻松，易于理解。文中的观点也是广而深，涵盖了睡眠对我们生活的方方面面的影响，也对其中造成影响的缘由有神经科学上的解释，说服力很强。可以感受到作者对于因为睡眠剥夺而造成的种种伤害和损失感到非常的惋惜和懊恼，可以共情到作者想改变社会上普遍对于睡眠的误解的渴望。读这本书的几天里我也确实睡眠比较好哈哈哈哈，确实发现书中的东西记得比较清晰，这也符合作者的观... 读下来首先感觉通篇行文通畅，逻辑连贯性强，读起来非常轻松，易于理解。文中的观点也是广而深，涵盖了睡眠对我们生活的方方面面的影响，也对其中造成影响的缘由有神经科学上的解释，说服力很强。可以感受到作者对于因为睡眠剥夺而造成的种种伤害和损失感到非常的惋惜和懊恼，可以共情到作者想改变社会上普遍对于睡眠的误解的渴望。读这本书的几天里我也确实睡眠比较好哈哈哈哈，确实发现书中的东西记得比较清晰，这也符合作者的观点。总体上阅读感觉良好，非常推荐。 (展开)

读完这本书的过程历时了几个月，现在很庆幸我读完了它。全书论述扎实，知识点丰富，好看生动不枯燥；重要的是转变了很多固化的认知，提醒了很多本该显而易见的事实，为人们睡觉的权利伸张正义！说这本书被赋予了改变社会（及观念）的崇高使命一点都不为过。愿科学家们都如此有责任感，则我相信科技一定能带来更为美好的社会以及更加美好的人生。致敬这位作者，希望更多人能读读这本书。

前半部分关于褪黑素和小鸟的睡眠很有意思，后半部分说明睡眠的重要性不是很有趣（不说我也知道）。其实我更想知道的是到底如何去改善睡眠，即使最后给了几页的建议，但也感觉没有真切到可以实际做什么。
