SUMMARY:The Sleep Revolution - Book Update Session
DESCRIPTION:All attendees will have access to an interactive Wiki document where we can share book annotations and updates on sleep science and tech since the publication of this critical 2016 book. \n  \nAbout;\nThe Sleep Revolution: Transforming Your Life\, One Night at a Time Hardcover – Big Book\, April 5\, 2016 \nCo-founder and editor in chief of The Huffington Post Arianna Huffington shows how our cultural dismissal of sleep as time wasted compromises our health and our decision-making and undermines our work lives\, our personal lives–and even our sex lives in this New York Times bestseller. \nWe are in the midst of a sleep deprivation crisis\, with profound consequences to our health\, our job performance\, our relationships and our happiness. What we need is nothing short of a sleep revolution: only by renewing our relationship with sleep can we take back control of our lives. \nIn The Sleep Revolution\, Arianna explores all the latest science on what exactly is going on while we sleep and dream. She takes on the sleeping pill industry\, and all the ways our addiction to technology disrupts our sleep. She also offers a range of recommendations and tips from leading scientists on how we can get better and more restorative sleep\, and harness its incredible power. \nThe result is a sweeping\, scientifically rigorous\, and deeply personal exploration of sleep from all angles\, from the history of sleep\, to the role of dreams in our lives\, to the consequences of sleep deprivation\, and the new golden age of sleep science that reveals the vital role sleep plays in our every waking moment and every aspect of our health–from weight gain\, diabetes\, and heart disease to cancer and Alzheimer’s. \nIn today’s fast-paced\, always-connected\, perpetually-harried and sleep-deprived world\, our need for a good night’s sleep is more important–and elusive–than ever. The Sleep Revolution both sounds the alarm on our worldwide sleep crisis and provides a detailed road map to the great sleep awakening that can help transform our lives\, our communities\, and our world. \n\n\n\n\nNOTE: This is planned as a FREE EVENT open to the public. Event details are TENTATIVE* \n\n\n\nHealth Culture Foundation’s mission is to make high quality health education material as widely available as possible. We will be publishing a resource from each event with key findings and links to related resources. \n\n\n\n*In some cases\, if we don’t have the right host and audience for a live event\, resources will be reallocated for an interactive report or pre-recorded webinar. \n\n\n\nContact Us for confirmation or sign up to our mailing list to find out more
