Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Sleep deficiency rarely arrives as a crisis. It builds quietly, one shortened night at a time, and its costs unfold on two different timescales that are usually discussed separately. This book examines both together.The first half covers what a single rough night, or a short run of them, does to attention, memory, judgment, mood, and the body's immune and hormonal systems within about twenty-four hours. The second half follows the same territory across months and years, tracing what chronic sleep deficiency does to brain structure, mental health, and long-term physical health, including its documented associations with cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and other chronic conditions.Drawing on controlled sleep studies, large population research, and current clinical practice, the book distinguishes clearly between findings that are well established and areas where the evidence remains more limited or still developing. It does not treat sleep loss as a source of alarm. It treats it as a subject worth understanding accurately, since an honest picture of the risks is what makes the practical guidance in the final chapter, covering how sleep debt can be repaid and how a sustainable sleep schedule can be rebuilt, worth taking seriously.Written for anyone dealing with an occasional bad night, a longer pattern of chronic sleep deficiency, or simply a desire to understand what actually happens in the body and brain when sleep falls short, this book offers a clear, evidence-based account of one of the most overlooked factors in long-term health.
