The Sleep Revolution: Transforming Your Life, One Night at a Time by Arianna Huffington
2.0
A basic guide to why you should get more sleep, complete with lots of anecdotes from people who didn't get enough sleep and where it got them, some sound research on the benefits of sleep and the perils of the sleeping pill industry, and some very unnecessary celebrity and professional sports team quotes/anecdotes at the end.
3 stars is stretching it for me, so I changed it to 2, as I would've preferred a more academic book on sleep, with more emphasis on the bio-neurological workings of sleep. And better ways of describing the research. Less chatter about dreams and more information on sleep disorders! (A more heavy-handed editor would be appreciated here.)
I do appreciate the notes at the end, especially the sources for the chapter on "The Science of Sleep".
