The circadian rhythm - circa ‘around’ and dies ‘day’- determines your sleep and awake schedule throughout 24 hours. Almost every living being has a circadian rhythm. Some of them, derelict them (human), try to ‘hack them (again human) and even try to understand them (…human)

Parsons takes us- in this novel- on a journey through the benefits and effects of neglect of sleep. The theory is validated by scientific research, which she includes in the story.
(Although I believe scientific research only can be disproven, never be proven right. I have to believe what she tells is the ‘truth’)

Parsons also give some helpful tricks, training and therapy for a better sleep hygiene, which i think are really helpful.

Loved it. Very informative and easy to read. Got a lot of tips despite already knowing a fair amount on the topic. Just don't read it before going to bed. It's kind of ironic, but you'll fall asleep in less than a minute. So, maybe, do read it at bedtime?

Stikker i lidt for mange retninger i forhold til at søvnmangel er en folkesygdom.

Bog der giver et godt overblik over forskningen på området i øjeblikket. Det giver dog også et klart billede af, at der mangler både viden om søvnen og behandling af søvnforstyrelser.
