    Important text for the field of sleep as a whole!

    This book provides a significant and important overview of the role that sleep plays in the management of human health. Sleep consumes more than 30% of our daily lives and is integrally linked to numerous systems of the body. We are understanding more and more how sleep impacts these different systems as they restore, reset, and prime themselves for a new day while the body sleeps. Sleep and Health provides a very strong view of the current scientific literature and will likely be considered a seminal text for years to come.
