Description

Sleep is often overlooked, but its mysteries are fascinating. Journalist David K. Randall's investigation into sleep began with a surprising experience - he started sleepwalking. This unexpected event led him to explore the science behind sleep and the research that has been investigating it. Randall takes readers on a tour of the world of sleep, from military battlefields to children's bedrooms. He delves into the often odd and sometimes disturbing aspects of sleep, revealing why results from one sleep study had an impact on sports betting, and how men and women differ in their sleeping patterns. This book is a thought-provoking exploration of the complex and intriguing world of sleep. You'll gain a new understanding of this essential aspect of our lives after reading Dreamland: Adventures in the Strange Science of Sleep.
