Why We Sleep is a groundbreaking exploration of one of the most essential — and least understood — aspects of our lives: sleep. Written by neuroscientist and sleep expert Matthew Walker, this “stimulating and important book” (Financial Times) reveals the powerful impact sleep has on our ability to learn, heal, remember, and thrive.

With decades of clinical and academic research, Walker dives deep into how sleep improves our immune function, balances hormones, boosts mental health, and even helps prevent major diseases like Alzheimer’s, cancer, and diabetes.

Walker also explores the role of dreams in inspiring creativity and making sense of our lives.

Accessible, enlightening, and compelling, Why We Sleep delivers both fascinating science and practical strategies for improving your sleep and transforming your life.
