Sleep - Rock Thy Brain Daniel Crean

An exploration of the pleasures of sleep. Sleep: Rock They Brain is an overview of what scientists know about sleep and an appreciation of sleep as a fun and inexpensive recreational activity that helps us live better. The title: Sleep, Rock Thy Brain, comes from Shakespeare's Hamlet (Act III, Scene II). Although sleep is important for the whole body, the brain (and mind) stand the most to benefit from good sleep and are most at risk when sleep goes awry. "Rock" as a verb has different connotations today than it did in Shakespeare's time. The modern meaning of the verb to rock us a call to high living and enthusiastic embrace of what life offers. Good sleep is part of living life to its fullest. This survey is not written in a technical manner. Although scientifically grounded, this is not a medical book. This book is not a how-to guide for overcoming insomnia. If you are looking for advice on solving your insomnia, consult your doctor.
