For the last two centuries, the industrialized West has reduced sleep to one narrow definition: hours of unbroken slumber, in a private chamber, alone or with at most one additional partner. And this artificial cultural definition is now spreading around the world. We've gained much from this sleeping revolution--privacy and security and independence--but along the way added a whole new host of problems: the explosion of sleep disorders, sleep anxieties, and life-style diseases connected to exhaustion and sleeplessness; the devastating rise in addiction to both sleeping pills and caffeine; the nightmarish nightly-battles faced by parents enforcing artificial 'bed times' for children. Our modern world may be founded on taming sleep; and yet our collective exhaustion reveals the extraordinary costs we've all paid"--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hanapepe Public Library Adult Nonfiction 616.84982 Reiss Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 616.84982 Re Checked In Add Copy to MyList
