英文简介:
“Why We Sleep is an important and fascinating book.
.
.
Walker taught me a lot about this basic activity that every person on Earth needs.
I suspect his book will do the same for you.
” –Bill Gates A New York Times bestseller and international sensation, this “stimulating and important book” (Financial Times) is a fascinating dive into the purpose and power of slumber.
With two appearances on CBS This Morning and Fresh Air’s most popular interview of 2017, Matthew Walker has made abundantly clear that sleep is one of the most important but least understood aspects of our life.
Until very recently, science had no answer to the question of why we sleep, or what good it served, or why we suffer such devastating health consequences when it is absent.
Compared to the other basic drives in life–eating, drinking, and reproducing–the purpose of sleep remains more elusive.
Within the brain, sleep enriches a diversity of functions, including our ability to learn, memorize, and make logical decisions.
It recalibrates our emotions, restocks our immune system, fine-tunes our metabolism, and regulates our appetite.
Dreaming creates a virtual reality space in which the brain melds past and present knowledge, inspiring creativity.
In this “compelling and utterly convincing” (The Sunday Times) book, preeminent neuroscientist and sleep expert Matthew Walker provides a revolutionary exploration of sleep, examining how it affects every aspect of our physical and mental well-being.
Charting the most cutting-edge scientific breakthroughs, and marshalling his decades of research and clinical practice, Walker explains how we can harness sleep to improve learning, mood and energy levels, regulate hormones, prevent cancer, Alzheimer’s and diabetes, slow the effects of aging, and increase longevity.
He also provides actionable steps towards getting a better night’s sleep every night.
Clear-eyed, fascinating, and accessible, Why We Sleep is a crucial and illuminating book.
Written with the precision of Atul Gawande, Andrew Solomon, and Sherwin Nuland, it is “recommended for night-table reading in the most pragmatic sense” (The New York Times Book Review).
中文简介:
“我们为什么睡觉是一本重要且引人入胜的书……沃克教会了我很多关于地球上每个人都需要的基本活动的知识。
我怀疑他的书也会为你做同样的事情。
” ——比尔·盖茨 《纽约时报》畅销书,引起国际轰动,这本“激动人心且重要的书”(《金融时报》)以引人入胜的方式深入探讨了睡眠的目的和力量。
马修·沃克 (Matthew Walker) 两次出现在 CBS This Morning 和 2017 年最受欢迎的 Fresh Air 采访中,清楚地表明睡眠是我们生活中最重要但最不为人所知的方面之一。
直到最近,科学还没有回答我们为什么睡觉、睡眠有什么好处、或者为什么我们在睡眠缺失时会遭受如此毁灭性的健康后果的问题。
与生命中的其他基本动力——吃、喝和繁殖——相比,睡眠的目的仍然更加难以捉摸。
在大脑中,睡眠丰富了大脑的多种功能,包括我们学习、记忆和做出逻辑决策的能力。
它重新调整我们的情绪,补充我们的免疫系统,微调我们的新陈代谢,并调节我们的食欲。
梦创造了一个虚拟现实空间,大脑在其中融合过去和现在的知识,激发创造力。
在这本“引人入胜且完全令人信服”(《星期日泰晤士报》)的书中,杰出的神经科学家和睡眠专家马修·沃克对睡眠进行了革命性的探索,研究了它如何影响我们身心健康的各个方面。
沃克描绘了最前沿的科学突破,并整理了他数十年的研究和临床实践,解释了我们如何利用睡眠来改善学习、情绪和能量水平,调节荷尔蒙,预防癌症、阿尔茨海默病和糖尿病,延缓衰老的影响,并延长寿命。
他还提供了可操作的步骤,以帮助您每晚获得更好的睡眠。
《我们为何睡觉》内容清晰、引人入胜且通俗易懂,是一本至关重要且具有启发性的书。
这本书由阿图尔·高万德 (Atul Gawande)、安德鲁·所罗门 (Andrew Solomon) 和舍温·纽兰德 (Sherwin Nuland) 精心撰写,“以最实用的方式推荐在床头阅读”(《纽约时报书评》)。
