Incredibly insightful for anyone that struggles with sleep, but really for anyone! Having gone through CBT-I and also listening to this book, I have a much better understanding of my sleep problems and how better to address them. I always knew sleep was important, but never realized just how much!

A really interesting, comprehensive book about the value of a good night's sleep. Matthew Walker gives some really compelling arguments about why our current culture (from schools, to workplaces, to home life) has failed us in the realm of sleep, and why that is lowering both our lifespans and our quality of life. Also some really interesting data here on the health benefits of sleep, as well as the detriments that even a few days of minor sleep deprivation can have on the body—which isn't great to hear when you have insomnia, but still useful.
I do think he is a little caught up in the "increased productivity" of workers as a result of sleep improvement, which, seeing as he's a sleep consultant with large F500 companies, I understand but I don't have to like. Wish we could promote things for human health without thinking about corporate profits!!!

Very informative and important, but it took me ages to finish. I kept putting it down and switching to another book. Maybe because I’m a scientist I struggled to read this in my downtime without it feeling a little like work? But 100% recommend because of the importance of the topic.
