 Written on February 28, 2008 Summary: dilute content I'm your run-of-the-mill insomniac, and thought I would get a few tips about how to get some better sleep from this very thick book. There were a few interesting topics discussed, but I don't feel like it did anything to help me gain an understanding of how I could sleep better. Most of the discussion was on normal sleep or disorders such as sleep apnea. The actual informational content of this book could fit into about a quarter of the pages, but the good doctor is EXTREMELY repetitive. Written on December 17, 2007 Summary: This book will put you to sleep The author spends too much time telling us his life story and not enough solid information about sleep. Dated. Written on July 22, 2007 Summary: Invaluable health info The author is one of the pioneers of sleep research, totally in command of his subject and it's surprising exactly how important sleep is in a healthy lifestyle. My only complaint: I would have preferred more sleep research results and less sleep research.  Written on January 19, 2007 Summary: Wonderful work "After all the research I've done on sleep problems over the past four decades, my most significant finding is that ignorance is the worst sleep disorder of them all." A half century of work combined to create a unique perspective. The first chapters deal with the basics: what sleep is and what we know about it. The next chapters deal with biology and sleep debt; causes: such as insomnia, apnea, narcolepsy, and fatigue; the effects: on the immune system and mood; dreams; personal needs; children; lifestyle. The appendix contains a list of sleep centers in each state. "People need to change the way they sleep and live." My sleep problems were brought on by personal troubles and trying to run a business 24/7; simplification was the answer. Excellent book; highly recommended, even for those just interested in the subject. "Healthy sleep has been empirically proven to be the single most important determination in predicting longevity." Wish you well Scott  Written on January 9, 2007 Summary: Important reference, too long, a bit dated If you have just become interested in sleep disorders and want to know the foundations, this book is likely a must read by a pioneer in the field. The author makes a strong case that the medical issues of humans during the night is much undervalued in current practice. However, the book is too long, and is written in an inefficient and chatty style that doesn't have an obvious organizational structure to it. This makes it hard to use as a reference for the serious reader and a bit too ponderous for the casual lay reader. Furthermore, after reading other references and recent sleep and medical literature, it is likely that the author's rigid theory of a sleep deficit, and other major conclusions, are matters of current debate. The book, therefore, is a bit dated. |
