We are in the midst of a sleep deprivation crisis, writes
Arianna Huffington, the co-founder and editor in chief of
The Huffington Post. And this has profound
consequences – on our health, our job performance, our
relationships and our happiness.What is needed, she
boldly asserts, is nothing short of a sleep revolution. Only
by renewing our relationship with sleep can we take back
control of our lives.
In her bestseller
Thrive,Arianna wrote about our need to
redefine success through well-being, wisdom, wonder, and
giving. Her discussion of the importance of sleep as a
gateway to this more fulfilling way of living struck such a
powerful chord that she realized the mystery and
transformative power of sleep called for a fuller
investigation.
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 is
revealing 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 Alzheimer’s.
In The Sleep Revolution, Arianna 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.She
explores all the latest science on what exactly is going on
while we sleep and dream. She takes on the dangerous
sleeping pill industry, and all the ways our addiction to
technology disrupts our sleep. She alsooffers a range
of recommendations and tips from leading scientists on how
we can get better and more restorative sleep, and harness
its incredible power.
In today's fast-paced,
always-connected, perpetually-harried and sleep-deprived
world, our need for a good night’s sleep is more important –
and elusive -- than ever.The Sleep
Revolutionboth sounds the alarm on our worldwide sleep
crisis and provides a detailed road map to the great sleep
awakening that can helptransform our lives,
our communities, and our world.
