Book overview

Description Editorial reviews

“Why We Sleep is an important and fascinating

book…Walker taught me a lot about this basic
activity that every person on Earth needs. I suspect
his book will do the same for you.” —Bill Gates

A New York Times bestseller and international

sensation, this “stimulating and important book”
(Financial Times) is a fascinating dive into the
purpose and power of slumber.

With two appearances on CBS This Morning and Fresh

Air's most popular interview of 2017, Matthew Walker has
made abundantly clear that sleep is one of the most
important but least understood aspects of our life. Until
very recently, science had no answer to the question of
why we sleep, or what good it served, or why we suffer
such devastating health consequences when it is absent.
Compared to the other basic drives in life—eating,
drinking, and reproducing—the purpose of sleep remains
more elusive.

Within the brain, sleep enriches a diversity of functions,

including our ability to learn, memorize, and make logical
decisions. It recalibrates our emotions, restocks our

Top book, full of useful insights.

Scientific explanation for all the extremely important
reasons to get a reasonable amount of sleep daily. If
this book does not make you more responsible towards
the amount of sleep you are getting - nothing will.

An outstanding book about the need of Sleep

Reviewed in France on 1 December 2023
I've read other books about sleep, watched YouTube
lectures and listened to podcasts about the importance of
sleep for good health and longevity. This is the most
