Book
The nocturnal brain : nightmares, neuroscience, and the secret world of sleep / Guy Leschziner.
Insomnia, narcolepsy, night terrors, apnea, and sleepwalking are just a sampling of conditions afflicting sufferers who cannot sleep - and their experiences in trying are the stuff of nightmares. Demoniac hallucinations frighten people into paralysis, or in more extreme cases, while in a state of sleep, people get dressed, unlock their car, and drive for several miles before returning to bed. In 'The Nocturnal Brain', renowned neurologist Guy Leschziner shares the true stories of people who are unable to sleep and explores the symptoms and syndromes behind these sleep disorders.
