This fascinating illustrated guide to all things sleep takes aim at many of our long-held myths surrounding sleep and provides an easy-to-understand guide to what exactly is going on in the third of our lives we spend sleeping, posing questions like: Do we really need eight hours of sleep each night? What happens if you stay awake for 205 hours? Is REM sleep the only kind of sleep that matters?
