具体描述
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

##反正就是要多睡觉。
评分##非常有用也比较有意思的一本书，向所有读者群推荐（NY Times Bestseller)。书以一个问题开始：我们（虫鱼鸟兽一切动物）为什么要睡觉？为什么生物经过这么漫长的进化，还一直保留着睡觉这个看起来会极大降低存活率（比如睡着了很容易被偷袭）的机制？水里需要不停游动的鱼类，或者需要跨洋级别长期飞行的鸟类都各自进化出了一些像一次只睡半边脑之类的 workaround 也无法完全避开睡觉，究竟是为什么？ 当然书并没有给出答案的完整刻画，因为完整的刻画应该还是生物研究中的谜题之一，但是书给出了一个很重要的定性答案：睡觉并不（仅仅）是一种休息（比如，像电脑休眠那样，机能停止运行），而是一种 ……（字数限制，见长书评吧。。。）
评分##Rem is important. Deep sleep is important. Regular sleep time is important.
评分##关于睡眠这件事情非常全面的科普和解析。我觉得印象最深刻的是，作者得出一个推论，既然我们现代社会的人类，几乎睡眠不足在城市人口中是常态，那么也就意味着我们很多人其实一直是在一个sub-optimal的状态下生活了很久，而自己接受了自己更低的performance standard，并且还不自知，认为这是正常的。这是一个非常让人concerning的发现。
评分##https://peterattiamd.com/matthewwalker1/ 作者聊了总共三期的Podcast
评分##大量关于睡眠的科学研究知识。总而言之一句话：千万要睡足觉啊！！！！

评分##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. Wake: reception,NREM: reflection (storing&strengthening raw ingredients), REM: integration (interconnecting,building a more accurate model, innovative insights&problem-solving
评分##睡眠不足的危害微信微博上到处可见。这本书简单来说就是再次重申睡眠不足对于身体，情绪等各方面的负面影响。我觉得比较有意思的是，原来REM做梦的时候，身体应该是处于paralyzed的状态的，大脑好神奇。还有sleep on it是有科学根据的。有的篇幅略冗余。总结下来睡眠很重要，要重视，说起来比做起来容易，要真正做到不简单。
