The Sleep Revolution by Arianna Huffington is a sweeping, scientifically rigorous and deeply personal look at sleep, from its history through the ages to the mystery of dreams to the modern age of sleep science. She identifies the many ways our cultural dismissal of sleep as time wasted undermines our health, decision-making, athletic performance, attitude to / performance at work and our sex lives.
Approaching the topic of sleep from several angles including investigating the latest scientific theories, the occasionally controversial debate surrounding sleeping pills and how our addiction to technology disrupts our sleeping habits. By highlighting the many areas where the benefits of sleep are being rediscovered – from sports and technology to education, the hospitality industry and workplaces around the world – Arianna Huffington paves the way for much-needed innovation, reform and a new scientific understanding of this universal issue.
Only by re-evaluating the importance of sleep can we take control of our lives, be more engaged and able to meet the copious daily challenges we face. The Sleep Revolution sounds the alarm on the global health crisis and will help us transform our lives, our careers, our communities and our world.
