Synopsis

Unlock the mysteries of rest and dreams with a clear, practical guide to sleep, dreaming, and sleep disorders.

This introduction explains what sleep is, how health and disease shape it, and why our nights matter for the body and mind. Drawing on early scientific ideas, the book explains why dreaming happens, what causes night-mare and sleep-walking, and how routine, environment, and temperament influence our rest. It blends accessible explanations with historical insight, helping readers understand the ties between sleep, daily life, and well-being. What you’ll experience or learn:

• How sleep differs from wakefulness and why complete rest is essential for renewal.
• What dreaming reveals about brain activity and the limits of consciousness.
• Common sleep phenomena like night-mare and sleep-walking, with explanations of their causes.
• Practical guidance on managing sleep, early rising, and healthy routines for better rest.

Ideal for curious readers of sleep science, psychology, or the history of medicine, this edition offers a grounded, accessible look at why we sleep and how to sleep better.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
