具体描述

The first sleep book by a leading scientific expert—Professor Matthew Walker, Director of UC Berkeley’s Sleep and Neuroimaging Lab—reveals his groundbreaking exploration of sleep, explaining how we can harness its transformative power to change our lives for the better.

Sleep is one of the most important but least understood aspects of our life, wellness, and longevity. 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 we don't sleep. Compared to the other basic drives in life—eating, drinking, and reproducing—the purpose of sleep remained elusive.

An explosion of scientific discoveries in the last twenty years has shed new light on this fundamental aspect of our lives. Now, preeminent neuroscientist and sleep expert Matthew Walker gives us a new understanding of the vital importance of sleep and dreaming. Within the brain, sleep enriches 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 mollifies painful memories and creates a virtual reality space in which the brain melds past and present knowledge to inspire creativity.

Walker answers important questions about sleep: how do caffeine and alcohol affect sleep? What really happens during REM sleep? Why do our sleep patterns change across a lifetime? How do common sleep aids affect us and can they do long-term damage? Charting cutting-edge scientific breakthroughs, and synthesizing 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; increase longevity; enhance the education and lifespan of our children, and boost the efficiency, success, and productivity of our businesses. Clear-eyed, fascinating, and accessible, Why We Sleep is a crucial and illuminating book

##Rem is important. Deep sleep is important. Regular sleep time is important.

##最主要是两点收获:1、科学的阐述了费洛伊德解析梦那套的误导与错误,有从地方天圆到地圆天方的醍醐灌顶之感,原来做做梦是伴随REM sleep对mental health有各种效果的生理特征,失恋、离婚后的梦并不是简单的日有所思,而是它在帮助我们消化情绪。2、睡眠跟饮食、锻炼一样,并非铁板一块,而是各个阶段的配合,熬夜损失3小时的REM sleep并不是第二天多睡4小时能弥补的,是失去了70%的REM sleep时间,要跟饮食分蔬菜、蛋白、水果、碳水一样认真对待睡眠。sleep deprivation比日常大家防癌的那些细节更致癌以及增加各种慢性病的风险,一直后悔高中沉默网游耽搁学业读完这本书第一次后悔耽搁了自己青春期的宝贵睡眠。从今往后,中午12点后不喝咖啡,晚上10后尽量不看LED。

##六颗星!整本书把所有和“睡觉”有关的科学知识非常想尽的写下来,重点是还写得极其有趣。发现好多设计实验的内容和过程也都特别好玩,包括历史上最早研究人类睡眠周期的科学家把自己关在“暗无天日的”山洞里的故事,等等。唯一的小bug是作者为了强调充足睡眠的重要性,举例说切尔诺贝利事件可能是sleep deprivation造成的,有点失偏颇啦。(当然,按照朋友调侃的话说,你懂这么多,依然也睡不好觉呀,这本书并不能真的帮你解决很多失眠问题,但是依然是本很棒的书呀)

##介绍了很多比较新的关于睡眠和梦的实验和理论,挺好的。另外也附有很实用的助睡指南,最关键的一条:每天按时睡觉按时起床。

评分

##也许并不是动物进化出了睡觉这件事,而是动物最原始的状态就是睡眠状态,进化让动物能周期性地“醒过来”If sleep does not serve an absolutely vital function, then it is the biggest mistake the evolutionary process has ever made. Wake: reception,NREM: reflection (storing&strengthening raw ingredients), REM: integration (interconnecting,building a more accurate model, innovative insights&problem-solving

##昨天读了之后 得到了久违的9小时睡眠... demystify了很多问题 比如REM做梦其实是很有用的 像是一种overnight therapy 帮你去重组处理日间的不良情绪;比如喝酒根本无法让你“睡得更好” 只是让你进入了一种麻醉状态而已;比如褪黑素只能帮助你提前召唤来睡觉的时间 具体质量是帮不了的;比如咖啡真的是一种被我们abuse的兴奋剂;比如真的有晨型人和夜型人。我们都会因为各种原因遇到一些sleeping difficulties 但不代表我们有insomnia 减少睡前蓝光的接受 带着好心态 好好睡觉吧

##非常有用也比较有意思的一本书,向所有读者群推荐(NY Times Bestseller)。书以一个问题开始:我们(虫鱼鸟兽一切动物)为什么要睡觉?为什么生物经过这么漫长的进化,还一直保留着睡觉这个看起来会极大降低存活率(比如睡着了很容易被偷袭)的机制?水里需要不停游动的鱼类,或者需要跨洋级别长期飞行的鸟类都各自进化出了一些像一次只睡半边脑之类的 workaround 也无法完全避开睡觉,究竟是为什么? 当然书并没有给出答案的完整刻画,因为完整的刻画应该还是生物研究中的谜题之一,但是书给出了一个很重要的定性答案:睡觉并不(仅仅)是一种休息(比如,像电脑休眠那样,机能停止运行),而是一种 ……(字数限制,见长书评吧。。。)

##大量关于睡眠的科学研究知识。总而言之一句话:千万要睡足觉啊!!!!
