Book Overview
In Snooze, McGirr delves into the mysterious world of sleep, including its many benefits, its stubborn elusiveness, and exactly what our brains really get up to while we're in bed. He offers readers a tour through the odd sleep patterns of some of history's greatest minds, including Aristotle, Homer, Shakespeare, Florence Nightingale, Thomas Edison, and more. He looks, too, at the demise of sleep in our increasingly fragmented modern world--and examines what that means for everyone from the Average Joe in the workplace to those with serious sleep disorders.
The result is both entertaining and enlightening--the perfect book for those sleepless nights.
