Sleepyhead

Henry Nicholls writes about sleep disorders from the inside — he has lived with narcolepsy for decades — and that personal stake gives the book an emotional honesty that purely clinical surveys lack. Kirkus, The Times, and the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine all praised it, and patient advocates endorsed it too, a rare cross-audience endorsement. If you want to understand the full landscape of what can go wrong with sleep and why, this is the most readable single volume on the subject.
