Synopsis
An overview of that most vital, most underrated and most elusive of human activities, sleep. Paul Martin looks at the purposes of sleep, drawing on neuroscience and classic literature to do so. We spend one third of our lives asleep, but know hardly anything about it, and can remember so little of it as we come out of it. Why? Does sleeping keep us sane? Are dreams the place we go to resolve our problems, emasculate our fears and rehearse our hopes? Why are we paralysed when we dream? Why did sleep evolve? And is anybody getting enough sleep?

Sleep is surely an excellent thing, although we know remarkably little about its origins and purpose. All that we do know however is laid out for us here in this illuminating and entertaining study by Paul Martin. This is a particularly fine copy, and the cover too is in similar condition and still looks crisp and new. The binding is still perfect and all pages are clean and unmarked from beginning to end.
