On the half-title page is a warm personal inscription in black ink: "To Josemin with all Best wishes Russell About the Authors Steven W. Lockley and Russell G. Foster are two of the world's foremost authorities on sleep science and circadian rhythms. Russell G. Foster is a British neuroscientist and Professor of Circadian Neuroscience at the University of Oxford; he is internationally renowned for his groundbreaking discovery of melanopsin (the light-sensitive protein in the eye that regulates our internal body clock) and for his pioneering research on how light affects sleep, mood, and health. Steven W. Lockley is a circadian biologist and sleep researcher who has collaborated extensively with Foster; together they have advanced our understanding of how modern 24/7 lifestyles disrupt sleep and contribute to widespread health issues. Their combined expertise makes this book a definitive, authoritative guide written by leading academics at the cutting edge of the field. Published by Oxford University Press (OUP), one of the world's oldest and most prestigious academic publishers, this title belongs to the highly acclaimed Very Short Introductions series. Launched in 1995, the VSI series now exceeds 750 titles and is celebrated for delivering concise, expert, pocket-sized overviews of complex subjects. Each volume is written by a leading authority and combines facts, analysis, fresh insights, and enthusiasm to make challenging topics highly readable. The series has been translated into more than 25 languages and is a favourite with students, professionals, and general readers worldwide who want to get quickly up to speed on a new subject. About the Book We spend about a third of our lives asleep, yet for centuries, sleep was misunderstood as a simple state of unconsciousness. This Very Short Introduction addresses the biological and psychological aspects of sleep, providing a clear understanding of what sleep is, how it is measured, its role across the human lifespan, and the causes and consequences of major sleep disorders. The authors describe dramatic breakthroughs in our knowledge of how sleep occurs, what it does for us, and the devastating effects of sleep deprivation. They also examine the impact of modern society - the 24/7 culture of shift work, long hours, and constant light - on our sleep patterns and overall health. With chapters on sleep through the ages, the sleeping brain, the reasons for sleep, the seven ages of sleep, when sleep suffers, sleep and health, sleep and society, and the 24-hour society, this is an ideal introduction for anyone interested in neuroscience, health, psychology, or the challenges of contemporary life. Includes references, further reading, and index. This 2012 first edition is now out of print in this exact format and is increasingly sought after by students, clinicians, researchers, and general readers interested in sleep science, circadian biology, and the impact of our always-on society.
