Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR 2023 BY THE NEW YORKER NEW YORK TIMES EDITOR'S CHOICE SELECTION "A propulsive, utterly engrossing history... None of it is simple and all of it is captivating."—The New York Times "Mapping the Darkness offers two narratives at once: a sweeping journey of discovery about dreams, sleep and the terra incognita of unconsciousness; and a wake-up call about the dangers of chronic exhaustion. It’s time, Mr. Miller tells us, to take our sleep back."—The Wall Street Journal From award-winning journalist Kenneth Miller comes the definitive story of the scientists who set out to answer two questions: “Why do we sleep?” and "How can we sleep better?” A century ago, sleep was considered a state of nothingness—even a primitive habit that we could learn to overcome. Then, an immigrant scientist and his assistant spent a month in the depths of a Kentucky cave, making nationwide headlines and thrusting sleep science to the forefront of our consciousness. In the 1920s, Nathaniel Kleitman founded the world’s first dedicated sleep lab at the University of Chicago, where he subjected research participants (including himself) to a dizzying array of tests and tortures. But the tipping point came in 1938, when his cave experiment awakened the general public to the unknown—and vital—world of sleep. Kleitman went on to mentor the talented but troubled Eugene Aserinsky, whose discovery of REM sleep revealed the astonishing activity of the dreaming brain, and William Dement, a jazz-bass playing revolutionary who became known as the father of sleep medicine. Dement, in turn, mentored the brilliant maverick Mary Carskadon, who uncovered an epidemic of sleep deprivation among teenagers, and launched a global movement to fight it. Award-winning journalist Kenneth Miller weaves together science and history to tell the story of four outsider scientists who took sleep science from fringe discipline to mainstream obsession through spectacular experiments, technological innovation, and single-minded commitment. Readers will walk away with a comprehensive understanding of sleep and why it affects so much of our lives.

Download or read book Snore, No More! written by Rob Simon and published by Andrews McMeel Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author Rob Simon has been on a quest: How do I stop snoring and save my marriage? Thanks to the author's diligence, humor, and-in no small part-the willingness of his mate to hold onto hope, millions of snorers and snorees may find their own solution to snoring, one of the most widely deliberated about and challenging conditions around the world. Snore No More! is no first-person account. Rather it's a well-researched book written by a man-men are twice as likely to snore as women-who knows the trials and tribulations of snoring and leaves no topic unturned in his hunt for answers. The result is an entertaining, humorous, and very informative book that covers everything from how to say snore in many of the world's languages to the effects of diet on snoring. Other topics include snoring surgeries (several of which the author has undergone), effects of sleep loss on snorees, and even dealing with pet snoring. Snore No More! is destined to become a must-have book for anyone who snores or lives with a snorer. The book's insights, suggestions, and documentation alone make it a valuable reference-one that just might keep snorers up all night reading.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People with severe sleep apnea may struggle for breath all through the night, not breathing for as long as ninety seconds at a time during their sleep. This syndrome, which affects at least four percent of men and two percent of women, can cause daytime fatigue, traffic and work accidents, deteriorating cognitive abilities, and cardiovascular problems. Yet until now there has been no accessible discussion of the history, physiology, and risk factors of sleep apnea. In this book Peretz Lavie, an expert in sleep research, tells the complete story of sleep apnea for the first time. The book provides: • an explanation of the symptoms of sleep apnea, including the most important one, snoring; • an up-to-date description of the risk factors; • a clear explanation why sleep apnea causes cardiovascular problems; • a discussion of children’s breathing disorders in sleep; • advice on how to get a consultation and diagnosis; • evaluations of the treatments currently available; • practical recommendations on how to live with the syndrome; • interviews with the key figures in sleep apnea research; • and more.

Download or read book Sleepyhead written by Henry Nicholls and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2018-09-04 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A narcoleptic's tireless journey through the neuroscience of disordered sleep Whether it's a bout of bad jet lag or a stress-induced all-nighter, we've all suffered from nights that left us feeling less than well-rested. But for some people, getting a bad night's sleep isn't just an inconvenience: it's a nightmare. In Sleepyhead, science writer Henry Nicholls uses his own experience with chronic narcolepsy as a gateway to better understanding the cryptic, curious, and relatively uncharted world of sleep disorders. We meet insomniacs who can't get any sleep, narcoleptics who can't control when they sleep, and sleep apnea victims who nearly suffocate in their sleep. We learn the underlying difference between morning larks and night owls; why our sleeping habits shift as we grow older; and the evolutionary significance of REM sleep and dreaming. Charming, eye-opening, and deeply humanizing, Sleepyhead will help us all uncover the secrets of a good night's sleep.

The book provides answers to key questions, written in easy-to-understand terms, as well as the pros and cons of specific treatments.

Book excerpt: Obstructive Sleep Apnea is a sleeping disorder that affects millions of people but which has only recently come to widespread public attention. Fortunately, an effective therapy called continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) can treat it. Simply blowing air into people's noses at night gives them new, improved rest and silences their characteristic snoring. Unfortunately, the adjustment period for this therapy is not of short duration, and most people give up in the early stages, before they can reap maximum, if any, benefit. Who can blame them? They must admit to snoring and then wade through a morass of tests and insurance red tape, all to obtain the pleasure of wearing a not-so-form-fitting mask every night-one guaranteed to thwart alien abductions. Author Mike Moran, who also suffers from Obstructive Sleep Apnea, offers a comforting and humorous resource for everyone dealing with the difficulties of this disorder-and its treatment. This Book Blows is for all the true "hose heads" who need to know they aren't alone in their quest for a good night's sleep!
