Why We Sleep

Why do we sleep?  Do we really need 8 hours or can we get by with 6 or less?  In this book, sleep researcher Matthew Walker discusses his career’s work on sleep.  He shows how sleep is important for health and functioning.  Sleep plays a vital role in memory formation and learning capacity.  It has diverse health impacts from bolstering our immune system to promoting cardiovascular health.  In a world where we rely on a medicated and caffeinated existence, we would do well to take a full dose of the best health supplement, sleep.  This is a fascinating read and is an inspiration to pursue more slumber.
