Counting Sheep: The Science and Pleasures of Sleep and Dreams

Description

"Even though we will devote a third of our lives to sleep, we still know remarkably little about its origins and purpose. Paul Martin's Counting Sheep answers these questions and more in this work of popular science. Even the wonders of yawning, the perils of sleepwalking, and the strange ubiquity of noctumal erections are explained in full." To sleep, to dream: Counting Sheep reflects the centrality of these activities to our lives and can help readers respect, understand, and extract more pleasure from that delicious time when they're lost to the world ISBN:9780007683192
