“Why We Sleep is an important and fascinating book…Walker taught me a lot about this basic activity that every person on Earth needs. I suspect his book will do the same for you.” —Bill Gates A New York Times bestseller and international sensation, this “stimulating and important book” (Financial Times) is a fascinating dive into the purpose and power of slumber.With two appearances on CBS This Morning and Fresh Air's most popular interview of 2017, Matthew Walker has made abundantly clear that sleep is one of the most important but least understood aspects of our life. Until very recently, science had no answer to the question of why we sleep, or what good it served, or why we suffer such devastating health consequences when it is absent. Compared to the other basic drives in life—eating, drinking, and reproducing—the purpose of sleep remains more elusive. Within the brain, sleep enriches a diversity of functions, including our ability to learn, memorize, and make logical decisions. It recalibrates our emotions, restocks our immune system, fine-tunes our metabolism, and regulates our appetite. Dreaming creates a virtual reality space in which the brain melds past and present knowledge, inspiring creativity. In this “compelling and utterly convincing” (The Sunday Times) book, preeminent neuroscientist and sleep expert Matthew Walker provides a revolutionary exploration of sleep, examining how it affects every aspect of our physical and mental well-being. Charting the most cutting-edge scientific breakthroughs, and marshalling his decades of research and clinical practice, Walker explains how we can harness sleep to improve learning, mood and energy levels, regulate hormones, prevent cancer, Alzheimer’s and diabetes, slow the effects of aging, and increase longevity. He also provides actionable steps towards getting a better night’s sleep every night. Clear-eyed, fascinating, and accessible, Why We Sleep is a crucial and illuminating book. Written with the precision of Atul Gawande, Andrew Solomon, and Sherwin Nuland, it is “recommended for night-table reading in the most pragmatic sense” (The New York Times Book Review).

In the bustling city of New York, Alexander Knight, a highly successful and powerful general manager of one of the leading multinational corporations, lived a life that many could only dream of. Tall, handsome, and impeccably dressed, Alexander had an air of authority that commanded respect wherever he went. Despite his success, his life was often lonely, his time consumed by the demands of his high powered career.One evening, as Alexander was leaving his office, he found himself caught in a sudden downpour. The streets were slick with rain, and he cursed under his breath as he realized he had left his umbrella in his office. As he jogged towards a nearby café to take shelter, he collided with someone running in the opposite direction."I'm so sorry!" a soft voice exclaimed. Alexander looked up to see a young woman, her hair drenched and clinging to her face. She looked up at him with wide, apologetic eyes."No problem," Alexander replied, his tone more brusque than he intended. The woman smiled sheepishly and offered her hand. "I'm Lily. Nice to meet you.""Alexander," he replied, shaking her hand. They both laughed awkwardly as the rain continued to pour. "Do you want to grab a coffee while we wait for the rain to stop " Alexander suggested, gesturing towards the café."Sure, why not," Lily agreed. They hurried inside, the warm and cozy interior of the café a stark contrast to the storm raging outside.Over steaming cups of coffee, they talked and laughed, sharing stories about their lives. Lily was a struggling artist, working part time jobs to support her passion for painting. Alexander found himself intrigued by her creativity and her zest for life, qualities that were often missing from his own structured and controlled existence.
