If anyone wants a good overview of the importance of sleep, I recommend The Promise of Sleep, a book written by William C Dement, a Stanford doctor also known as "The Father of Sleep."

I read that book when it first came out. It made me realize I had sleep apnea, so I referred myself to a sleep lab. It's a very good book.
I will definately check it out, as well as Dr. park's book. I am currently finishing up a few books, and research. Some for the job and some for fun. I will need to find something else when these are finished.
I was able to check this book out from work. Hopefully I will be able to start it this week.
I started this book tonight. I read the first 2 chapters and am now lost in the research behind it. Thanks guys
glad you're enjoying so far. there's a part later on in the book when he talks about this kid he monitored while the kid was gunning for a world record in sleep deprivation. interesting stuff. i hear the magician David Blaine is getting advice from Dement now as Blaine sets out to to beat that kid for the new world record.

I've met Dement on a few occasions. He's a fun guy to talk to. He still is super passionate and curious about sleep, and I think pretty humbled by how little is still known, despite how far the field has come.
