Casting a wide net through history and sleep problems, Dr. Cheney examines and authoritatively demonstrates the siren song of sleep is not just an individual’s problem but a societal problem. This book is rich in surprising information about drowsy drivers, putting children to sleep, physicians in training, pilots, firefighters, military, police officers, truck drivers, shift workers, and sleep-inducing foods. Songs, poems, fairy tales, movies, literature, and recipe ideas from famous people make it more fascinating.
