About the The Sleep Revolution

The instant New York Times bestseller, now available in paperback.
In The Sleep Revolution, Arianna Huffington, founder of the health and wellness startup Thrive Global, the cofounder and former editor in chief of the Huffington Post, and the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Thrive, delves into the sleep revolution that is taking place across the country--a revolution that can transform our lives. Sleep, she writes, is one of humanity's great unifiers, binding us to each other. Yet we find ourselves in the middle of a crisis of sleep deprivation, with devastating effects on our health, our happiness, our job performance, and our relationships. Only by renewing our relationship with sleep, she argues, can we take control of our lives, live more fully, and be more engaged with the world.
In The Sleep Revolution, Arianna claims our cultural dismissal of sleep as time wasted undermines our health and our decision-making, and ravages our relationships, our work lives, and even our sex lives. She takes on sleep from every angle, exploring the latest science on sleep, the manipulative and dangerous sleeping pill industry, and all the ways our addiction to technology disrupts our sleep. She presents recommendations and expert advice on how we can all achieve better and more restorative sleep, and make the power of sleep work for us.
Most important, by highlighting the many areas where sleep's benefits are being rediscovered--from the world of sports and technology to college campuses, the hotel industry, and even workplaces around the world--she points the way forward to amazing innovations, reforms, and inventions rooted in our new love affair with sleep.
In today's 24/7 fast-paced, always-connected, perpetually harried, and sleep-deprived world, our hunger for restorative sleep is only getting stronger. The Sleep Revolution both sounds the alarm on the worldwide sleep crisis and offers a road map for how we can take back our sleep and transform our lives and our world.
