"Dreamland: Adventures in the Strange Science of Sleep" Overview

An engrossing examination of the science behind the little-known world of sleep.

Like many of us, journalist David K. Randall never gave sleep
much thought. That is, until he began sleepwalking. One midnight crash into a
hallway wall sent him on an investigation into the strange science of sleep.

In Dreamland, Randall explores the
research that is investigating those dark hours that make up nearly a third of
our lives. Taking readers from military battlefields to children’s bedrooms, Dreamland shows that sleep isn't as simple as it seems.
Why did the results of one sleep study change the bookmakers’ odds for certain
Monday Night Football games? Do women sleep differently than men? And if you
happen to kill someone while you are sleepwalking, does that count as murder?

This book is a tour of the
often odd, sometimes disturbing, and always fascinating things that go on in
the peculiar world of sleep. You’ll never look at your pillow the same way
again.

Amazon Best Books of the Month, August 2012: Forget about outer space and deep-ocean trenches. There are scientific mysteries far closer to home. In our bedrooms each night, something odd happens--we try to fall asleep. No one knows exactly why. What happens if we don't sleep? Do men sleep differently than women? Why is it so hard to put children to sleep? And if Freud was wrong about dreams, then why do we dream? In Dreamland: Adventures in the Strange Science of Sleep, David K. Randall answers these questions and more. He takes us through the history of human thinking about sleep, all the way up to the latest rest techniques used by Olympic athletes. You'll sleep better having read this book. --Benjamin Moebius
