From Library Journal
Do nappers perform better than others? How do swimmers stay awake while attempting to cross a Great Lake? What is the effect of sleep (or lack of it) on work performance? Dotto, formerly a science writer for the Toronto Globe and Mail, enthusiastically explores virtually every angle of the latest sleep theory and research: sleep stages, deprivation, and disorders; rhythms and cycles; jet lag and shift work; athletic performance; the space program, and more. Both the topic and the engaging treatment will appeal to informed nonspecialists. A recommended purchase for general and undergraduate collections. See also Michael J. Thorpy and Jan Yager's The Encyclopedia of Sleep and Sleep Disorders , reviewed in this issue, p. 108.--Ed.

From Publishers Weekly
As part of this timely work on the still mysterious nature of sleep, Toronto-based science writer Dotto records the findings of laboratory tests--including her own 50-hour ordeal as a test subject--regarding the effects of sleep deprivation (from which scientists believe most people in urban, industrial societies suffer). In a fluent narrative, she explains how, starting with the electric light bulb, today's 24-hour economy and lifestyle, imposed by technology, disrupts human circadian rhythms and inner clocks, leading to major sleep and health disorders and impaired performance and safety in industry, transportation, sports, etc. Among suggested solutions, the author cites substituting multiple naps--common to animals--in place of long, single periods of sleep.
