Extract

Awareness of the relationship between sleep and a wide variety of health conditions (such as depression to cardiovascular disease) is increasing, and this is mirroring a growing literature base reflecting the many and nuanced directions the sleep field has taken in recent years. This has led to an increase in the number of individuals interested in learning about the basics of sleep science—whether they are trainees in sleep programs, professionals expanding into sleep, or others simply interested in better understanding how sleep works. The book, The Science of Sleep: What It Is, How It Works, and Why It Matters (University of Chicago Press), by Wallace B. Mendelson [1], spells out these principles with clarity and simplicity, without sacrificing scientific integrity or the interest of the reader. This is not surprising, as Dr. Mendelson was a pioneer in the field of sleep research and sleep medicine, and is a well-respected psychiatrist, scientist, and sleep educator.
