"It's only words, and words are all I have, to take your heart away." —Bee Gees
A very informative look on the power of sleep to maintain our physical, mental and emotional health and wellbeing. It took me longer than expected to get through the book, although it's not lengthy or written in a complicated way. In fact, as a science-based book it's very accessible and quite humorous at times despite the gloomy prognosis of what lack of sleep can do to you. Maybe it's just me, but I got a bit bored at some point and preferred to switch to a novel instead. I also think some parts might need more references and examples to be more convincing.
That said, it's still a really eye-opening read which made me think about my own (sometimes poor or inadequate) sleep and how it can be better. I found myself often telling people near me interesting tidbits from the book as I was reading, which is a sign of a good nonfiction for me.
