Dreamland: Adventures in the Strange Science of Sleep

摘要

Sleeping is not as easy as it looks. And neither is studying it, as author David K. Randall makes clear in Dreamland. "The more you know about sleep, the more its strangeness unnerves you," he writes. Each chapter of the book covers current and historical research on a particular sleep predicament, including sleepwalking, getting infants to sleep, sharing a bed, interpreting dreams, and the problems of sleep deprivation, sleep apnea, insomnia and circadian rhythm disruptions such as jet lag.
