(citat fra bogen) Indtil for ganske nylig havde videnskaben ingen svar på spørgsmålet om, hvorfor vi sover, hvad søvnen betyder for os, eller hvorfor det er så fatalt for vores helbred ikke at få søvn.

Matthew Walker, førende neurolog og søvnekspert, giver os en ny forståelse af den vitale betydning, søvn og drømme har.

A GUIDE TO USING THE SCIENCE OF THE BODY CLOCK TO CREATE THE OPTIMUM PERSONAL ROUTINE. SLEEP BETTER, WORK BETTER, FEEL BETTER.'A superlative guide to some of the most intriguing questions of human existence' Bill BrysonIn the twenty-first century, we increasingly push our daily routines into the night, carrying out work, exercise and our social lives long after dark. But we have forgotten that our bodies are governed by a 24-hour biological clock which guides us towards the best time to sleep, eat and think. New science has proven that living out of sync with this clock is not only disrupting our sleep, but leaving us more vulnerable to infection, cancer, obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease and mental illness.In Life Time, Professor Russell Foster shares his life's work, taking us on a fascinating and surprising journey through the science of our body clocks. Using his own studies, as well as insights from an international community of sleep scientists and biologists studying circadian rhythms, he illustrates the surprising effects the time of day can have on our health:- how a walk outside at dawn can ensure a better night's sleep- how eating after sundown can affect our weight- the extraordinary effects the time we take our medication can have on our risk of life-threatening conditions, such as strokesIn the modern world, we have neglected an essential part of our biology. But with knowledge of this astonishing science, we can get back into the rhythm, and live healthier, sharper lives.

Der er noget galt med vores søvn. Vi er konstant online, vores kalendere er fyldt op, og vi holder os gående på kaffe og sukker for at følge med. Noget må gå galt på et tidspunkt, og det noget er i stigende grad diabetes, hjertesygdomme, depression og Alzheimers. Hvordan er det gået så galt? Nick Littlehales er sovecoach for nogle af verdens største sportsstjerner. Han har opfundet metoden "R90", som handler om at tænke i søvnperioder frem for i timer, og som vil revolutionere den måde, vi tænker på søvn og hvile. Han har hjulpet med at omdefinere sovevaner for engelske fodboldspillere, Tour de France-cykelryttere og olympiske atleter – og han vil gøre det samme for alle andre i denne bog. Det er lige meget, om man er ung eller gammel, nybagte forældre eller et par, der skal købe en seng for første gang, en sygeplejerske med skiftende vagter eller en topchef – alle kan få glæde af de erfaringer og den forskning, der er samlet i denne bog. Læse bl.a. hvordan du får nok søvn uden nødvendigvis at sove otte timer hver nat. Hvordan du kan drikke et ekstra glas vin, en kop kaffe eller spise sent uden at bekymre dig om din nattesøvn. Hvordan du køber den rigtige madras (og den behøver ikke koste en formue). Hvordan du forholder dig til jetlag, små børn, snorken og andre natlige udfordringer. Nick Littlehales er Englands førende søvncoach med mere end 30 års erfaring fra arbejdet med især sportsfolk. Blandt hans klienter er topfodboldklubber, cykelryttere og olympiske atleter.
