When we have enough of it, we feel great. We’re firing on all cylinders and our mojo is in full flow. It’s hard to feel that way when we’ve had a bad night or when every night is more or less a bad one. There is lots of information out there on different remedies – supplements, apps, practical advice to help people sleep but it’s rarely a one-size-fits-all solution.
Neuroscientist Matthew Walker’s book Why We Sleep, is not self-help but takes a different approach. It explains what melatonin is and why we need it, what happens to the brain when it has enough sleep – and when it doesn’t – and examines the role of sleeping pills, therapy and more. As you read it you may recognise what you could change to help improve your own sleep. So if you’re tired of feeling tired it’s possible that this eye opener just might help you get a bit more shut-eye!
