Why We Sleep: The New Science of Sleep and Dreams
by Matthew Walker
Quotes:
Within the space of a mere hundred years, human beings have abandoned their biologically mandated need for adequate sleep — one that evolution spent 3,400,000 years perfecting in service of life-support functions. As a result, the decimation of sleep throughout industrialized nations is having a catastrophic impact on our health, our life expectancy, our safety, our productivity, and the education of our children.
I believe it is time for us to reclaim our right to a full night of sleep, without embarrassment or the damaging stigma of laziness.
