aspects of our life  health and longevity and yet it is increasingly neglected in

matters. Looking at creatures from across the animal kingdom as well as major human studies 
Why We Sleep delves into everything from what really happens during REM sleep to how caffeine
and alcohol affect sleep and why our sleep patterns change across a lifetime  transforming our
appreciation of the extraordinary phenomenon that safeguards our existence. 'Vital ... a
life-raft' Guardian 'A top sleep scientist argues that sleep is more important for our health
than diet or exercise' The Times 'It had a powerful effect on me' Observer 'I urge you all to
