In an engrossing blend of entertaining anecdotes and scientific data, Stanley Coren bestselling author of "The Intelligence of Dogs," explores the world of sleep and sleeplessness. From startling evidence that increasing sleep deprivation in our society poses a serious threat to our safety to inquiries into how much sleep we really need, Coren recounts both the facts and the folklore surrounding this often ignored subject.
Review:
"Forget that early-to-rise myth; getting too little sleep is unhealthful, costly, and downright unproductive, according to this lively, anecdote-laden report on the perils of sleep deprivation.:"
Kirkus, 02/01/1996
Review:"According to Coren's well-researched jeremiad against exhaustion, the most horrific manmade catastrophes of the late-20th century have been caused by the late century's refusal to sleep."
Scott Morris, Washington Post Book World, 05/19/1996

Book Description: SIMON SCHUSTER, United States, 1997. Paperback. Book Condition: New. New edition. 216 x 140 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery ***** Print on Demand *****. In this engrossing, expansive look at the facts and folklore of sleep, best-selling author Stanley Coren provides astounding new evidence that we are becoming an increasingly sleep-deprived society, and that this condition is seriously affecting our work, posing a danger to ourselves and others. He shows, for example, that the Exxon Valdez oil spill, the disaster involving the space shuttle Challenger, and the nuclear accidents at both Chernobyl and Three Mile Island were all associated with people suffering from sleep deprivation. Drawing on dramatic interviews with a range of professionals including doctors, airline pilots, stockbrokers, and truck drivers, Coren shows the risks that everyone now faces as more and more people in the workforce operate with insufficient sleep. He also looks at some of the more subtle and insidious effects of sleep loss on our physical and mental health and explains how to tell whether you are getting enough sleep. In addition Coren asks intriguing questions like: Do fish sleep? Are there really "morning" people and "night" people? Why is it virtually impossible to fall asleep during midmorning hours no matter how tired you are? And how is it that you can sleep for hours on a plane and never feel rested? Some provocative stories about sleep oddities are presented along with a description of some strange sleep disorders that affect a surprisingly large number of people. Finally, the book describes specific techniques to help children sleep through the night and to improve the quality and efficiency of your own sleep.
