具體描述
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

##這是一本安利睡覺的書。十四個小時說瞭一句話：睡得好讓你精神好、心情好、學習好、顔值高、胖不瞭、創意足、掙錢多、省醫療、開車安全、少得癌晚癡呆、死不瞭。反過來就是說，不好好睡覺會讓你變胖、變醜、變學渣、差領導、開車危險、抑鬱跑不瞭、男的蛋蛋變小娘娘化生不瞭、早癡呆多得癌、老得快、死得早。
評分##反正就是要多睡覺。
評分##非常有用也比較有意思的一本書，嚮所有讀者群推薦（NY Times Bestseller)。書以一個問題開始：我們（蟲魚鳥獸一切動物）為什麼要睡覺？為什麼生物經過這麼漫長的進化，還一直保留著睡覺這個看起來會極大降低存活率（比如睡著瞭很容易被偷襲）的機製？水裏需要不停遊動的魚類，或者需要跨洋級彆長期飛行的鳥類都各自進化齣瞭一些像一次隻睡半邊腦之類的 workaround 也無法完全避開睡覺，究竟是為什麼？ 當然書並沒有給齣答案的完整刻畫，因為完整的刻畫應該還是生物研究中的謎題之一，但是書給齣瞭一個很重要的定性答案：睡覺並不（僅僅）是一種休息（比如，像電腦休眠那樣，機能停止運行），而是一種 ……（字數限製，見長書評吧。。。）
評分##實話實說我感覺比較一般，話題是老生常談瞭，睡覺很重要，重要到睡不好會導緻種種疾病甚至死亡。也可能是我get不到當中的邏輯。前幾個月開始聽，一直很催眠，到今天終於決定聽完。也許催眠就達成瞭這本書的目的吧。睡前讀紙質書和電子書還是有差的，讀電子書會抑製身體釋放melatonin。不用錯覺自己insomnia，being sleep deprived is not insomnia。不過being sleep deprived也沒有比insomnia好到哪裏去。
評分##Rem is important. Deep sleep is important. Regular sleep time is important.

評分##也許並不是動物進化齣瞭睡覺這件事，而是動物最原始的狀態就是睡眠狀態，進化讓動物能周期性地“醒過來”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
評分##睡眠不足的危害微信微博上到處可見。這本書簡單來說就是再次重申睡眠不足對於身體，情緒等各方麵的負麵影響。我覺得比較有意思的是，原來REM做夢的時候，身體應該是處於paralyzed的狀態的，大腦好神奇。還有sleep on it是有科學根據的。有的篇幅略冗餘。總結下來睡眠很重要，要重視，說起來比做起來容易，要真正做到不簡單。
評分##給自己愛睡覺找到瞭理由，發現確實如此
