This was insightful, fascinating, and at times really disturbing. It gets down to the nitty gritty details of sleep with easy to understand explanations and analogies. It motivated me to have a better night time ritual and sleep hygiene.

Excellent book providing a physiological and societal analysis of sleep. Some myths are busted, some bad practices are discussed and some recommendations are given.
