The Promise of Sleep

I read two of the four sections of this book on paper! I was curious about sleep and wanted to see what the old Stanford sleep professor had to say on the subject. The man has spent his life studying sleep I figured he would have some good tips on how to improve one's sleep. Unfortunatly his book is full of warnings of the dangers of lack of sleep, sleep disorders, and common sense advice. His advice is basically to keep a sleep journal and to sleep more. Can't argue with the advice, but he claims if you do actually sleep enough, you'll be a super happy camper. I guess I'm the silly one for hoping for sleep magic. One interesting point he makes is that there isn't enough sleep research being done because it's basically inconvenient to conduct experiments. I hope we do more.
