Power Sleep : The Revolutionary Program That Prepares Your Mind for Peak Performance
Where you start reading this book will probably say a lot about your current  station in life. New parents will probably skip right to chapter 12 and the section subtitled  "Tips for Exhausted Parents of Newborns, Infants, and Children." Drowsy  office workers might go for chapter 9, which explores the subject of midday naps (which  may reduce stress and the risk of heart disease). Other chapters look at traveling (driving,  jet lag), shift work, and insomnia and other sleep disorders. Dr. James Maas has spent 34  years lecturing to drowsy psychology undergraduates at Cornell University, and knows  how to hold an audience--even when the subject is sleep, and even when the conclusion is  that most of us don't get enough of it. This is a fascinating book; you'll want to take it in  slowly and then sleep on it.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
