Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Why can you feel exhausted at the wrong time, wide awake when you desperately want to sleep, or wake from a dream wondering what your brain was doing all night?Sleep Makes Sense takes you inside one of the strangest things your brain and body do every day. Daniel May explores the science behind sleep pressure, body clocks, sleep stages, dreams, memory, insomnia and the everyday forces that can either support sleep or send it off course.Rather than treating sleep as a perfect score you have to achieve, this book explains the biological systems working beneath the surface - and why struggling with sleep can often make far more sense than it first appears.Discover why your body knows when it wants to sleep, what really happens during REM and deep sleep, how light and modern schedules affect your internal clock, why dreams happen, how stress and trying too hard can keep you awake, and what the evidence actually says about improving sleep.Along the way, Sleep Makes Sense tackles common myths about eight-hour rules, sleep trackers, alcohol, melatonin and the damage supposedly caused by the occasional bad night.Clear, practical and grounded in psychological and sleep research, this is a guide to understanding sleep without turning bedtime into another thing to worry about.Sleep isn't wasted time. It is an active biological process - and once you understand the forces behind it, the night begins to make a lot more sense.
