The Sleep Revolution by Arianna Huffington

I really enjoyed reading this book by Arianna Huffington. I have worked overnights for a very long time and my sleep patterns are all messed up. In this book she talks about the history of sleep and how to get better sleep. In the past sleep has been thought of as necessary and people have tried to sleep. As the industrial revolution took over, people have tried to cut sleep out more and more. I was surprised to find out that a lack of sleep can cause a person to be as impaired as if they were drunk. I had realized that sleep was important for health and weight loss but did not realize how important it truly was. Now that I am trying to lose weight it is becoming more apparent how important sleep is. I liked the chapters on the hotels and how they are trying to help people get better sleep. I loved the appendixes with information on more hotels and mattresses. She also gives a lot of tips on how to get to sleep so that you will not have to use sleeping pills. I found this to be a very good book. I received this book free from Blogging for Books in exchange for a review of the book. It was a very interesting read.
