preface
As you may have seen in the table already, this book represents a 10/10 for me. It did take me two years–or rather two attempts–to fully get through the book, I’ve started in the summer of 2022 but didn’t get further than two chapters and then in the spring of 2024 I’ve managed to finish it within a week.
It is a very dense book initially and the first try I suppose I just wasn’t ready for the rather scientific nature, but with reading through the chapters it slowly dawned on me that the discussion of sleep is of utter importance to basically anyone. And seeing the value in it I’ve started to pick up the excitement Walker was able to encapsulate within his writing.
As in the last review I’ll lay down my notes and talk about some related things and my ideas throughout them, and what’s left of my opinion and such will get it’s related own section at the end to also be mentioned.
