Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker, PHD - Reshelved Books

Hello Dewey Readers!

Today I am reviewing a piece of non-fiction, quite different from what we normally review.  My boyfriend's grandpa gave me a copy of Matthew Walker's Why We Sleep to read and it had such a pretty cover that I figured I would #bookstagram it and give you all a brief review about this informative work.  

So a few takeaways from this book.  Basically, sleep is important.  And the sleep that comes from sleeping aids, anxiety pills, allergy medication, and alcohol? It isn't the type of restorative sleep our bodies need.  And drowsy driving in our overworked and under slept society is one of the largest causes of death. 

Tips for falling asleep?  

  • Limit the amount of screen time you have on devices before bed (I'm failing at this one as we speak
  • Stay away from light at night (We are all vampires)
  • And limit caffeine 
Now, I'm putting this 3 out of 5 Coffee Beans book to bed and going to sleep.  

Goodnight Dewey Readers! Until the next read!
