Why We Sleep

Odds are that listeners will relate to Matthew Walker's call for better sleep; two-thirds of adults are getting too little of it. Narrator Steve West's British voice is as calm and relaxing as it's meant to be. The first part of the discussion covers sleep studies and compares humans to the animal kingdom. Then Walker shares his conclusions, establishing a link between sleepless nights and Alzheimer's, obesity, cancer, and mental illness. He wraps up with a 12 sleep tips, all of which have been explained in detail earlier in the audiobook. Listeners will find this work to be both unsettling and fascinating--and will get a few tips for better sleep as well. J.A.S. � AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine
