Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years neuroscientists have uncovered the countless ways our brain trips us up in day-to-day life, from its propensity toward irrational thought to how our intuitions deceive us. The latest research on sleep, however, points in the opposite direction. Where old wives tales have long advised to "sleep on a problem," today scientists are discovering the truth behind these folk sayings,and how the busy brain radically improves our minds through sleep and dreams. In The Secret World of Sleep, neuroscientist Penny Lewis explores the latest research intothe nighttime brain to understand the real benefits of sleep. She shows how, while our body rests, the brain practices tasks it learned during the day, replays traumatic events to mollify them, and forges connections between distant concepts. By understanding the roles that the nocturnal brain plays in our waking life, we can improve the relationship between the two, and even boost creativity and become smarter. This is a fascinating exploration of one of the most surprising corners of neuroscience that shows how science may be able to harness the power of sleep to improve learning, health, and more.

With a sense of infectious curiosity, award winning author Kat Duff mixes cutting-edge research with insightful narratives, surprising insights, and timely questions to help us better understand what we’re losing before it’s too late. The Secret Life of Sleep tackles the full breadth of what sleep means to people the world over.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An authoritative and accessible guide to what happens when we shut our eyes at night We spend a third of our lives in bed, but how much do we really understand about how sleep affects us? In the past forty years, scientists have discovered that our sleep (or lack of it) can affect nearly every aspect of our waking lives. Poor sleep could be a sign of a disease, the result of a vitamin or iron deficiency, or the cause of numerous other problems, both sleeping and waking. Yet many people, even medical personnel, are unaware of the dangers of poor sleep. Enter Dr. Meir Kryger, a world authority on the science of sleep, with a comprehensive guide to the mysteries of slumber that combines detailed case studies, helpful tables, illustrations, and pragmatic advice. Everyone needs a good night’s sleep, and many of us will experience some difficulty sleeping or staying awake over the course of our lifetimes (or know someone who does). Kryger’s comprehensive text is a much-needed resource for insomniacs; for those who snore, can’t stay awake, or experience disturbing dreams; and for the simply curious. Uniquely wide ranging, The Mystery of Sleep is more than a handbook; it is a guide to the world of sleep and the mysterious disorders that affect it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A renowned neurologist shares the true stories of people unable to get a good night’s rest in The Nocturnal Brain: Nightmares, Neuroscience, and the Secret World of Sleep, a fascinating exploration of the symptoms and syndromes behind sleep disorders. For Dr. Guy Leschziner’s patients, there is no rest for the weary in mind and body. Insomnia, narcolepsy, night terrors, apnea, and sleepwalking are just a sampling of conditions afflicting sufferers who cannot sleep—and their experiences in trying are the stuff of nightmares. Demoniac hallucinations frighten people into paralysis. Restless legs rock both the sleepless and their sleeping partners with unpredictable and uncontrollable kicking. Out-of-sync circadian rhythms confuse the natural body clock’s days and nights. Then there are the extreme cases. A woman in a state of deep sleep who gets dressed, unlocks her car, and drives for several miles before returning to bed. The man who has spent decades cleaning out kitchens while “sleep-eating.” The teenager prone to the serious, yet unfortunately nicknamed Sleeping Beauty Syndrome stuck in a cycle of excessive unconsciousness, binge eating, and uncharacteristic displays of aggression and hypersexuality while awake. With compassionate stories of his patients and their conditions, Dr. Leschziner illustrates the neuroscience behind our sleeping minds, revealing the many biological and psychological factors necessary in getting the rest that will not only maintain our physical and mental health, but improve our cognitive abilities and overall happiness.

Book excerpt: Some couples wonder if they have the mettle for a committed relationship, or the momentum for long-distance love, or the reflexes for fighting crime. Unsure couples waste years looking for answers in each other's eyes, or in the offices of behavioral therapists. And yet, each night their sleeping bodies reveal more than any doctor or private detective could ever discover. With this book, a couple can unlock the meaning of their chosen pose. All thirty-nine poses (including Classic Spoons, the Tobogganer, and Softserve Swirl) come with easy-to-identify illustrations, detailed descriptions, and training tips. Handy icons indicate which positions are most therapeutic for snorers, outdoorsmen, or those who work on their feet.

Book excerpt: A disturbing literary dystopian science fiction debut set in a near-future Vancouver during a deadly insomnia pandemic for fans of The Leftovers Dawn breaks over Vancouver and no one in the world has slept the night before, or almost no one. A few people, perhaps one in ten thousand, can still sleep, and they’ve all shared the same golden dream. After six days of absolute sleep deprivation, psychosis will set in. After four weeks, the body will die. In the interim, panic ensues and a bizarre new world arises in which those previously on the fringes of society take the lead. Paul, a writer, continues to sleep while his partner Tanya disintegrates before his eyes, and the new world swallows the old one whole.

Book excerpt: ★★ Kindle Version is FREE with Purchase of Paperback ★★ If you want to know more about sleep, its mystery, why we sleep, and how it is as important for our survival and health as air, food, and water, then this book Why We Sleep and Dream: Powerful Secrets of Better Health is a must read! Sleep is a mystery and there are many theories as to what sleep is and why we sleep. It's almost mystical how sleep creeps up on you. You wake up and begin your busy day, performing the daily tasks that you carry out each day; traveling to work or school, catching the train or bus to a second job, get the kids to and after school activities, cook dinner, sit and read the latest news, study for class the next day, go online and surf the web, or watch TV for a couple of hours. You regroup after the day, and suddenly, you get the usual feeling of drowsiness that is the first indication that you're getting sleepy and bedtime is not far behind. What many people don't realize is that the sleep you get each night, while it works to make you feel refreshed and revitalized to meet the world the next day, is really a busy time for your brain, your body, and all the hormones and cells to do their job so that you awaken not just ready to rock and start another busy day, but it's also a healthier you that you'll see when you look in the mirror the next morning. This book will give you the information you need to understand how important sleep is for you, your family, and everyone around you. It will also break down what happens when you are sleep-deprived and how it can negatively affect you physically and psychologically, not to mention how diseases can develop or be exacerbated without getting the appropriate sleep. Sleep is an important element of life that needs to be given more attention and not be taken for granted. There is much more information about the effects of sleep: What sleep is and the reasons why we sleep What things affect our sleep negatively and what you can do to combat sleep deprivation A special note to parents of newborns - how they can get some sleep and still be attentive parents to their newest member of the family What are the benefits of a good night's sleep and how it affects our health in a very positive way Are you sleeping the right number of hours for your age? How about children and adolescents - how much sleep should they be getting? How the lack of sleep is detrimental to your body, and how much you lose if your lack of sleep is chronic How the lack of sleep can create emotional issues and how sleep disorders can also cause sleep deprivation What are dreams and why we dream and the theories that scientists and researchers admit don't tell the whole story And more....
