Review - Why We Sleep

The science gets dull sometimes, and the author is a bit of an alarmist. If all he said was as true as he claims, we'd all be dead by now. But there's no doubt most people don't sleep enough. He links sleep deprivation to ADHD-type symptoms and bi-polar disorder, for example.
