Sleep better, live longer with the groundbreaking information and step-by-step program in this revolutionary book.
Healthful sleep has been empirically proven to be the single most important factor in predicting longevity, more influential than diet, exercise, or heredity. And yet we are a sleep-sick society, ignorant of the facts of sleep--and the price of sleep deprivation. In this groundbreaking book, based on decades of study on the frontiers of sleep science, Dr. William Dement, founder and director of the Stanford University Sleep Research Center, explains what happens when we sleep, when we don't, and how we can reclaim the most powerful--and underrated--health miracle of all.
Taking us on a fascinating tour of our sleeping body and mind, Dr. Dement reveals the price we have paid for ignoring sleep--an epidemic of heart disease, 33 percent of traffic-fatigue-related accidents, and immeasurable mental and psychological disadvantages. And he offers a hands-on prescription for vibrant good health and longevity, including...self-tests to determine how much sleep you really need...the role of prescription and over-the-counter sleeping aids...the latest research on how sleep affects the immune system...how to combat insomnia, snoring, and jet lag...plus information on sleep disorder clinics nationwide, Web sites, and more.

To put it mildly, this book will forever change the way I feel about sleep. I cannot recommend it highly enough. You may think that sleep is boring, but it is quite the opposite. If you think you might not want to read this book, all I ask is that you pick it up at your local library and read the introduction. If your not hooked just from the introduction, check your pulse.
Here is my stump speech on this book: "We've all heard that to be healthy one must eat well, exercise, and get a good night's sleep every day. Well most of us have a good idea about good eating, and about eating disorders. We know about exercise, and we know about illnesses associated with not exercising or exercising too much. But what do you know about sleep? What is 'a good night's sleep'? What are some sleep disorders beyond the popular insomnia? How does sleep affect your health and how can you use sleep to optimize your entire life? Read this book and I swear your life WILL improve."
