"Sleep and Its Derangements" by William A. Hammond is a detailed exploration of sleep, focusing on its vital function and the science behind it. Viewing sleep as a critical period for the brain and nervous system to recover, the book investigates the reasons we need sleep, what happens in the body during sleep, and the different problems that can arise. It highlights how being awake uses up the brain's energy and how sleep helps to regain it while also introducing the idea that the mind is still somewhat active even when we are sleeping, and sets the stage for an examination of sleep disorders and how they affect overall health.
