Co-founder and editor in chief of The Huffington Post Arianna Huffington shows how our cultural dismissal of sleep as time wasted compromises our health and our decision-making and undermines our work lives; our personal lives--and even our sex lives in this New York Times bestseller. We are in the midst of a sleep deprivation crisis; with profound consequences to our health; our job performance; our relationships and our happiness. What we need is nothing short of a sleep revolution: only by renewing our relationship with sleep can we take back control of our lives.In The Sleep Revolution; Arianna explores all the latest science on what exactly is going on while we sleep and dream. She takes on the sleeping pill industry; and all the ways our addiction to technology disrupts our sleep. She also offers a range of recommendations and tips from leading scientists on how we can get better and more restorative sleep; and harness its incredible power. The result is a sweeping; scientifically rigorous; and deeply personal exploration of sleep from all angles; from the history of sleep; to the role of dreams in our lives; to the consequences of sleep deprivation; and the new golden age of sleep science that reveals the vital role sleep plays in our every waking moment and every aspect of our health--from weight gain; diabetes; and heart disease to cancer and Alzheimerrsquo;s. In todays fast-paced; always-connected; perpetually-harried and sleep-deprived world; our need for a good nightrsquo;s sleep is more important--and elusive--than ever. The Sleep Revolution both sounds the alarm on our worldwide sleep crisis and provides a detailed road map to the great sleep awakening that can help transform our lives; our communities; and our world.
