If you're only going to read one book this year, please make it this one.
IF THIS BOOK MADE YOU ANXIOUS ABOUT YOUR SLEEP; DON'T PANIC! THE AUTHOR IS FULL OF SH*T.
This book is "riddled with scientific and factual errors" (Guzey, 2019).
Every chapter has errors. For example, the author claims that the World Health Organization declared a "sleep loss epidemic," which is not true. The WHO never said that.
There's also a lot of tomfoolery with p-hacking (a statistical cheat), sample size inflation, and graph manipulation. He constantly misrepresents the data.
The Maintenance Phase podcast also did a great episode exposing the problems with this book.
Check out this webpage for a detailed rundown of the many, many errors in this book.

A really rich read, but it would have been great to learn about M vs F sleep needs, menstruation sleep needs, etc. Everything was "8 hours for all". The narcolepsy chapter was disappointing as a sufferer - things were very skimmed over and only one type was presented.
I loved the important note on low socioeconomic students à less sleep because of VERY early bus schedules. Please please start schools later to make everyone more safe and healthy! And so that we can learn more!
