Highly recommended submitted by Susan4Pax -prev. sueij- on August 14, 2013, 8:40pm Well, I must think this one is a 5-star, because not only did I have a hard time putting it down, but I immediately recommended it to my friend and my husband. Plus, even though I borrowed it from the library myself, I've noted this as a "must own" for our own library.

Fascinating. Informative. Well-written. Random facts and practical applications.

Really... what's not to love? It got on my list when I heard an NPR interview with the author, but it's one of those books that should be on your list, too. Highly recommended!

Entertaining and Informative submitted by sdunav on June 16, 2014, 8:17pm Entertaining, well-researched and well-written nonfiction on sleep and current sleep research: why we do it, how much we need, how it differs in different cultures and for different ages and throughout history, and sleep disorders.
