The Sleep Revolution

Arianna Huffington, cofounder of THE HUFFINGTON POST, presents a compelling case on the importance of sleep. Narrator Agapi Stassinopoulos provides each fact with clarity, speaking in a slight Greek accent. The urgent need to convince listeners to grasp the severity of the nation's sleep deprivation crisis is evident in Stassinopoulos's tone as the author explains the various sleep studies and scientific data on this topic. How we sleep, the significance of our dreams, technology's pull to keep us awake, and our addiction to the quick fix of sleeping pills are pertinent to the discussion of sleep's vital role in our lives. The material, both interesting and meaningful, is delivered as a plea for listeners to recognize that sleeping well is necessary for good health and a high-quality life.
