I haven't read the book. But the reviews and synopses suggest the book barely touches the question, except in a superficial way. (I considered reading it, but decided against when I realized it's not really about the question of the title.)

Or, what kind of explanation are you looking for? The book talks about the evolution of sleep, and it's functional role, what else is missing?

One that's convincing. Unlike the half dozen or more I've previously read about the evolution of sleep and its functional role.

Can you link me to the previous ones and why they are not convincing?

I'm in a slightly odd spot here. I feel a little as though I've commented that astrology isn't all that convincing, and someone now wants a list of what I've read about astrology (a fair number of tidbits, over my life, but it was all bad, so I don't remember any titles);
