TL:DR; Nuku enemmän.
Mielenkiintoinen kirja nukkumisen tärkeydestä. Itse olen kiinnostunut unista, joten olin kyllä ihan kohderyhmää.
Kirja on kokoelma esseitä, joka toimi mielestäni hyvin. Toistoakaan ei tullut liikaa, vaan sopivan opettavaisesti.

If I could give this book more than 5 stars I would. This is arguably the most important book I have ever read in my life. It makes me feel both vindicated and angry. Sleep has always been, for the longest time, the just important thing in the world to me. I have always felt the effects of good/bad sleep (moreso, it seems, than people around me).
In a world where caffeine addictions are the norm and waking up without an alarm clock is the exception to the rule, this book is more important than ever. If I were to run for president all of my policies would involve increasing sleep in the general population across age ranges. It is so hopeless to me that we have designed a world that goes against something so natural and so necessary.
I cannot control the actions of others, but I will make an effort to increase the sleep I currently get as well as the consistency of my sleep. More than exercise, more than social interaction, I know that a lack of sleep is the main driving factor behind my terrible moods. I wish this was required reading and I'm genuinely so frustrated to be a person who values sleep in a world that doesn't.

This book was consistently shocking, terrifying, and immensely helpful. Its unbelievable we aren’t more sufficiently educated on something as basic and vital as sleep. I recommend to all humans.
This book is kind of dry and took me a while to get through. It’s got a lot of research studies (interesting + scary) that might make you think everything bad in the world is due to lack of sleep. I kept pushing through — even when I was bored — because, throughout, I found useful tips and insights (and validation for some of my own theories and practices around sleep hygiene).

This one felt like it took forever. And I spent half the time wondering if I was reading the same book the other reviews were referencing.
Don’t get me wrong, there’s a lot of information here. I just don’t know that it’s as “life-changing” for me as it is for others. I can’t quite put my finger on what it is, but something about the information felt exaggerated to drive home the point, which left me feeling more skeptical than inspired. I’m sure there’s a lot of strong research here, but the writing felt unnecessarily dense and almost choppy in parts. Maybe it’s because I listened to the audiobook instead of reading a physical copy?
It’s definitely good material to put you to sleep, so there’s that at least. As someone who struggles with sleep, I had hoped to be a bit more moved or given new actionable advice to implement in my life, but I mostly felt bored. The actionable steps seemed common sense, and many of which I already apply. As someone who overthinks everything and has a decent amount of anxiety about most things, I was surprised to see that many felt this book induced those feelings, and yet I felt nothing. A lot of this probably just comes down to me, personally, so maybe I should cut the book more slack? Maybe I should take my health and sleep more seriously. I don’t know. Not sure what I expected, but I’m definitely nowhere near as excited about this book as I was when I placed the library hold. Maybe I should’ve slept more while reading it.

Boring read. But a lot of useful information. There are contradictory interpretations of same facts. For some highly subjective and hard-to-measure phenomena the explanations provided seem too perfect. Nevertheless, the importance of sufficient and quality sleep is undeniable and should be made aware by more people.
