Sleep

Being a psychology student whose thesis was on sleep and dreams, I am bit bias to be writing a review of this book. I really loved it and think that most people would, weither they know anything about the process of sleep or not. It's very informative and presented interestingly, with lots of pictures and a little humor too. Hobson is one of the leading sleep scientists, so he knows what he's talking about. I would definately suggest that anyone who sleeps should have this book!

Amazing

This book offers more information and factual data, then first assumed. You'll learn about sleep disorders, and all of the latest research. For example, did you know that the sleep attacks of narcolepsy occur at periodic intervals of 90 - 100 minutes, during waking, a frequency that collides with the onset of REM during sleep. Not only is this and other interesting facts presented in a clear manner, but the reason behind this is explained in such a concise and constructive way, that you cant help but to consider this a better page turner than most works of fiction. I recommend this to anyone who wishes to learn about the human brain, dreaming, or just sleep in general.
