This is a great read if you are curious to learn more about the science of sleep, and archeological research into hunter-gatherer cultures. How to Sleep Like a Caveman provides evidence for why we sleep the ways we do (or don't). In particular I found it interesting to examine why it is people jerk awake at night. The reason is intriguing and logical. Recommended. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. Pub Date May 20th.

#HowToSleepLikeACaveman

A fascinating look at how humans evolved to sleep — and what some of our modern habits don’t work with our ancient biology. The author offers both deep science and practical advice, drawing on many different disciplines. Invaluable.

Kind of basic and repetitive. I was hoping for more anthropological stuff, and less "tips and tricks." More depth, I suppose. It felt surface level.

An interesting look at the evolutionary biology behind how we developed our sleep patterns/habits, and a lot on the cutting edge studies of how we sleep now. I was more interested in the evolution and history side of sleep (boo to the new historians taking away the medieval two-sleep theory! I kid. Mostly.) The modern sleep studies are quite in depth and will probably be of interest to people looking to deal with sleep issues.
