Chris Saenz | Book Report: Why We Sleep @ChrisSaenz13 | Uploaded February 2024 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
In this video I talk about the book Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker. This book, although not a self help book, contains such amazing information about the benefits and purposes of sleep -- it has really been an eye opening and life changing study for me! So, I wanted to share about it! In the video, I share quite a bit of how I related personally to the book.
I have struggled with sleep issues all of my adult life (and maybe longer - Mom will need to fill in the blanks on that if she remembers). I tend to have trouble falling asleep and I have real trouble going back to sleep (especially in the 2nd half of the night) when I am awakened for any reason most nights. I always thought of myself as a light sleeper. In this book, Matthew Walker explains how so many other conditions like depression, anxiety, ADHD, and even conditions like Alzheimer's can be linked to poor sleep. I had never considered poor sleep as a cause vs an effect. This information has really blown my mind.
This book outlines numerous sleep studies and it is very well written and relatable too - it flows very well. There is a comprehensive index which I find awesome.
If you are interested in this topic but don't have access to the book, be sure and listen to Matthew on one of the many podcasts where he has been featured ... here are two of my favorite:

I purchased my book on Amazon:
amazon.com/Why-We-Sleep-Unlocking-Dreams/dp/1501144324/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=why+we+sleep&qid=1707501651&sr=8-1
Thank you very much for watching. I will be continuing my study of my own sleep and experimenting with all the recommendations from Matthew. I just didn't want to delay talking about the book in case it would help anyone else.
