Sleep - Rock Thy Brain

An exploration of the pleasures of sleep. Sleep: Rock They Brain is an overview of what scientists know about sleep and an appreciation of sleep as a fun and inexpensive recreational activity that helps us live better. The title: Sleep, Rock Thy Brain, comes from Shakespeare's Hamlet (Act III, Scene II). Although sleep is important for the whole body, the brain (and mind) stand the most to benefit from good sleep and are most at risk when sleep goes awry.

Good sleep is part of living life to its fullest. This survey is not written in a technical manner. Although scientifically grounded, this is not a medical book.
