Consider Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker. Recommended by 31 sources.
“The book reads like an engaging, urgent lecture from a sleep evangelist, blending accessible science with alarming anecdotes. Its strength is the deep dive into how sleep shapes memory, health, and creativity, making a strong case for its non-negotiable importance. The downside: tone can become preachy and overdrawn, with some claims feeling overstated, leaving you either inspired to protect your slumber or weary of the relentless doom-mongering.”
