To Sleep at Last: A Good-bye to Darden Burns

Sleep Series

Sleep Pt. I: Why We Sleep (and What Happens When We Don't) - Health Rising uses Matthew Walker's 2017 book, "Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams", to provide a general overview of sleep..

Why We Sleep Pt II: Walker on the Dark Side of Sleeping Pills - Plus a CBT That Works? - Walker asserts that not only do sleep drugs not really improve sleep (they simply knock you out) but that they're associated with increased mortality rates. Beyond CBT for sleep, though, Walker doesn't offer much for relief.
