This will not be a five star book for many people I know and it is far heavier in the sleep stuff than the dream stuff, but if you are a brain science nerd then there are so SO many interesting and horrifying studies included. this book has really made me rethink some of my current goals and and made so important and impactful what a bunch of disparate articles couldn’t. It was NOT the most pleasant thing to read over a year post partum and still struggling with chronic undersleep, but perhaps that just made it that much more important.

Bonus- I don’t usually do nonfiction, information heavy books via audiobook because I like to screenshot or copy down bits and pieces of information, but when I saw Steve West was the narrator I broke my own rule- not only could I listen to that guy read the phone book, but since he was the narrator for the audiobooks in the Thief series I felt like Gen was sharing a brilliant plan with me on how to save my small part of the world if I only get a little more sleep
