Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams by Matthew Walker

4.0

TL;DR: sleep is important. Giving 4 stars though bc I felt the author made quite a few claims that weren’t really backed up by strong causal evidence. Like saying that people who get more sleep tend to have higher paying jobs. This claim implies something that isn’t really true, in my opinion. More likely it is that higher paying jobs allow more schedule flexibility and thus more sleep. There were a few other little claims like that that just seemed off to me.

But overall very informative! I certainly learned a lot.
