Description
Sleep has hardly changed since Paleolithic humans slept soundly in their caves. Dr Merijn van de Laar explores how our modern lives are disrupting this ancient sleep pattern, and how we can adapt to get a better night's rest. By examining the simple sleep diary in the back of the book, you can record your sleep pattern over 3 weeks and discover your personal sleep needs. The book also offers practical advice on reducing stress, following regular bedtimes, and respecting your personal circadian rhythm. Human sleep as we know it today evolved hundreds of thousands years ago, to suit a hunter-gatherer lifestyle. It's not always compatible with our modern lives, but remains an essential function, vital for our health, well-being and daytime functioning.
