Almost a third of your whole life is spent asleep. Night School uncovers the scientific truth about the sleeping brain - and gives powerful tips on how those hours of apparently 'dead' time in the dark can transform your waking life.

Based on exciting new peer-reviewed research, mass-participation experiments and the world's largest archive of dream reports, Night School will teach you how to:

Learn information and solve problems while you sleep * Find out why nightmares can be good for you, and what your dreams really mean * Unlock the creative power of the six-minute nap * Banish jet-lag, night terrors and snoring * Discover the secrets of the 'super sleepers' - and get the best night's sleep of your life

Studies show that even a small lack of sleep can have a detrimental effect on our health, lifespan and happiness. Professor Richard Wiseman's authoritative, entertaining new book introduces the powerful new science of sleep - and gives us back the missing third of our days. Welcome to Night School.

Sherlock

Comprehensive and Backed with Scientific Studies.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 June 2019

Verified Purchase

A comprehensive look at sleep and dreaming, with scientific studies to back up the material.
Covers all the usual bases, like sleep cycles, dreaming/ nightmares, insomnia, creativity and problem solving.
I didn’t really learn anything new, but the biggest takeaway for me is going to bed at times that are in time with 90-minute circadian rhythms.

fascinating and informative

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 February 2015

Verified Purchase

This is a fascinating book and I learnt a lot from reading it. The style is easy to read and very informative. I learned why 'sleeping on it' works, that we dream every night, that dreams help maintain mental health although (or because) 80% of them are unpleasant, how sleep is essential to health, how to sleep better and much more.

I also learned what isn't true - cheese doesn't make us dream, and there is no evidence that dreams can foretell the future. They can make you a better writer, painter or musician though

The author says that sleep science should be part of the national curriculum - after reading this excellent book I am inclined to agree with him

Science backed suggestions that work.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 April 2014

Verified Purchase

Some genuinely useful tips for getting a better nights sleep. Wiseman is passionate about the global decline in sleep and as always the discussions in his book are backed up by rigorous peer reviews science. If you're serious about sleeping better or just learning more about how you spend a third of your life then this is for you.

Lovely informed read, it certainly sent me to sleep zzzzz

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 April 2014

Verified Purchase

As a long term insomniac I was intrigued to see if this book could offer me any practical advice. It didn't disappoint. Armed with many tips and suggestions on getting a great night's sleep (which in hindsight now seem rather obvious), I am eager to start putting them into practice. This is an easy, enjoyable read and I would recommend it to insomniacs and super sleepers alike. You might just learn how to improve your health, control / maximise your dreams and perhaps find a little inspiration along the way.

A good read all round

A good read though the author does however - whilst not totally off topic, a bit left field occasionally and it can become a bit of a chore to continue reading. Still a worthy read though

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 November 2016

Finally a book on sleep that's actually backed up by papers and genuine psychological studies and not just the traditional advise that's been passed on from generation to generation without actually questioning what we think is true.
I won't give too much away but well worth the read to find out more, especially if you have trouble sleeping.
