9780713727487: Sleep Talking: Science, Needs & Misconceptions

Synopsis

Sleep is a process which most of us indulge in on the assumption that it will refresh and revitalize us. Yet, despite scientific and media interest in the subject, we are still far from a proper understanding of its true meaning. This book explores the importance of sleep-related issues by bringing together research from the fields of science, medicine, law, education, and social studies. The result is a book where sleep is revealed as not only a physical function intrinsically linked with our bodies' health, but also as a phenomenon which continues to shape our cultural and social lives.
