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
也许并不是动物进化出了睡觉这件事,而是动物最原始的状态就是睡眠状态,进化让动物能周期性地“醒过来”If sleep does not serve an absolutely vital function, then it is the biggest mistake the evolutionary process has ever made.

评分实话实说我感觉比较一般,话题是老生常谈了,睡觉很重要,重要到睡不好会导致种种疾病甚至死亡。也可能是我get不到当中的逻辑。前几个月开始听,一直很催眠,到今天终于决定听完。也许催眠就达成了这本书的目的吧。睡前读纸质书和电子书还是有差的,读电子书会抑制身体释放melatonin。不用错觉自己insomnia,being sleep deprived is not insomnia。不过being sleep deprived也没有比insomnia好到哪里去。
评分给自己爱睡觉找到了理由,发现确实如此
评分总之,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。
