Why We Sleep

Matthew Walker · 2017

2 people have this book on the record — 1 of 2 verdicts positive. The dissent stays on the page.

The bar next to each date shows how long ago it was said: 6d is days, 4yr is years.

Mark Manson mixed on it affiliate
A flawed but really useful book. Some of the data here is exaggerated, it appears.

Bill Gates liked it
But even if you apply a mild discount factor, Why We Sleep is an important and fascinating book.

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
