I will never discredit or ignore my sleep needs ever again.
Literally every part of this book is fascinating, informative, and a literal wake-up call to how fundamental sleep is to the very structures of our DNA. If this topic was covered in high school, I would have never dreamed of jeopardizing two invaluable hours of sleep... every night... for 4 years in exchange for doom-scrolling dank memes on instagram.
Though every topic was alarming and important in it's own right, the one that blew my mind was the effects of drowsy driving. Matthew Walker argues, with clear evidence, that the 'micro-sleeps' one undergoes after just 16+ hours without sleep causes more fatal accidents than driving under the influence and it scared me how many times I have unwittingly put mine and other people's lives in danger doing that exact thing.
I truly can't stress how grateful I am to have stumbled across this book and will be forcing everybody I know to read this. This shit is lifesaving.

This book has completely revolutionised the way I think about sleep and, with that, has genuinely changed my life. It's fascinating, a bit terrifying, and extremely comprehensive without ever being dry. I only wish I'd read it much sooner!
