I read this yesterday on a separate thread, and am now intrigued to read the original book. I definitely think a lot of poor sleepers are half that way because of the pressure to "get a good night's sleep", and the fear associated with the ramifications of not getting one....
This is quite the rebuttal to Matt Walkers ‘why we sleep’ book. I’m inclined to agree with a lot of it, particularly the scaremongering. Anyone else read it and have any thoughts?https://guzey.com/books/why-we-sleep/?fbclid=IwAR3tNLTH_yXJdfiq3k_zc8tWXK-lO1NPSiebYviRxZmWKY0MuS5cwoqS0ag …

Really? I’m not! I watched him speak (on YouTube) and didn’t approve of his scaremongering! That was enough for me.

Not read the book but as a crap sleeper, I have been a sucker for the sleep scare-mongering in the past.

Just read the first paragraph, as a family we would regularly have tea in front of the tele at 8pm at night, when I was growing up. That’s when we only had 4 channels, but that meant we would sit and talk, slept pretty good too
