by Matthew Walker (Author), Olga Merino (Translator)

Dormir es uno de los aspectos más importantes de nuestra vida, y, también, es uno de los más incomprendidos.

Hasta hace muy poco, la ciencia no podía responder por qué dormimos, o qué beneficios nos aporta, o por qué es tan devastadora la falta de sueño en nuestra salud. Pero en los últimos veinte años, una explosión de descubrimientos científicos ha arrojado nuevas luces sobre este aspecto fundamental de nuestra vida. El sueño enriquece nuestra habilidad de aprender, memorizar y tomar decisiones lógicas. Recalibra las emociones, reabastece el sistema inmune, afina el metabolismo y regula el apetito.

En Por qué dormimos?, el eminente neurocientífico y especialista en sueño Matthew Walker nos revela la importancia vital del dormir y el soñar. Y nos responde importantes preguntas sobre el sueño: cómo afectan la cafeína y el alcohol el sueño? Qué ocurre realmente durante el sueño REM? Por qué nuestros patrones de sueño cambian a lo largo de la vida? Cómo nos afectan los medicamentos para conciliar el sueño y qué daño pueden ocasionarnos a largo plazo?

Siguiendo de cerca los avances científicos de vanguardia y sintetizando décadas de investigación y de práctica clínica, Walker nos explica cómo podemos aprovechar el sueño para mejorar el aprendizaje, el humor y los niveles de energía; regular las hormonas; prevenir el cáncer, el alzhéimer y la diabetes; retrasar los efectos del envejecimiento y aumentar la longevidad.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Sleep is one of the most important aspects of our lives, and yet it remains one of the most misunderstood.

Until very recently, science could not answer why we sleep, what benefits it brings, or why the lack of sleep is so devastating to our health. Over the past twenty years, however, a surge of scientific discoveries has shed new light on this fundamental aspect of life. Sleep enhances our ability to learn, memorize, and make logical decisions. It recalibrates emotions, replenishes the immune system, fine-tunes metabolism, and regulates appetite.

In Why We Sleep, eminent neuroscientist and sleep expert Matthew Walker reveals the vital importance of sleeping and dreaming. He answers key questions about sleep: How do caffeine and alcohol affect it? What really happens during REM sleep? Why do our sleep patterns change throughout life? How do sleeping pills affect us, and what long-term damage can they cause?

Drawing closely on cutting-edge scientific advances and synthesizing decades of research and clinical practice, Walker explains how we can harness sleep to improve learning, mood, and energy levels; regulate hormones; prevent cancer, Alzheimer's, and diabetes; delay the effects of aging; and increase longevity.
