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

5.0

---

This book changed my life. It gives incredible insight in the various functions of sleep and makes a solid case for a radical overhaul of our sleeping habits. It motivated me to put sleep as a #1 priority in my life, and I’ve witnessed the enormous positive impact of the changes I made to my energy levels during the day, and my ability to work, think and to be creative. Sufficient sleep also gave my health and physical shape a significant boost. I used to be a late night owl, always needing lots of coffee to get going in the morning, often tired during the day. Now, I make sure I close my eyes at 10 pm and wake up fully rested at 6 am, ready for exercise and often with lots of energy for the rest of my day. I’m so glad I read this book!
