The sleep science was really, really interesting, but once homeboy started talking about broader health implications, he gets way out of his depth. It ruined my desire to continue reading.
Very well researched and informative- this book was (ironically) a real eye-opener for me.
It’s a must-read for everyone, especially in today’s hustle culture where we tend to prioritise everything over a good night’s sleep.

better find some academic papers on this topic. the general gist of the book so far is common-ish knowledge, plus i hear rumors that the claims made are often unsupported, so I'd rather do my own little research.

A must-read. The world would be a better place if this book was treated like a manual for having a body! I picked this up hoping it would bully me into finally making a consistent effort to get sufficient sleep, and I'm so glad I did. Learning the intricate details of sleep's effects on our physiology is much more compelling than the platitudinous "shoulds" we've always heard about sleep habits (which are all true, but so unappealing on their own). I put this book down in favor of turning out the light and sleeping several times, and that's a credit to its influence.

Yeah, I don't have to believe everything that one book tells me, but what I learned in this book matches what I've been reading about in other sources: sleep is vital, and we don't get enough.
Think you can get away with 6 hrs a night? The stats are against you- it's not helping your body, your immune system, or your mental health.
We've been told that drinking water can solve all problems, but the science doesn't hold up and it's annoying besides. But getting 8 hours of sleep a night not only seems to have amazing health and wellness benefits, but it's actually pleasant.
I'll still drink my caffeine, and sleep later on weekends when I can, but I've started to try for 8 hrs a night and it does help. It's not easy for a night owl- we really can't change our circadian rhythms very well (ask any teenager). But if you can find a good sleep cycle, stick with it.
