The staggering devotion of my fellow sleep scientists in the field, and that of the students in my own laboratory, made this book possible. Without their heroic research efforts, it would have been a very thin, uninformative text. Yet scientists and young researchers are only half of the facilitating equation when it comes to discovery.
The invaluable and willing participation of research subjects and patients allows fundamental scientific breakthroughs to be uncovered. I offer my deepest gratitude to all of these individuals. Thank you. ree other entities were instrumental in bringing this book to life. First, my inimitable publisher, Scribner, who believed in this book and its lofty mission to change society.
Second, my deftly skilled, inspiring, and deeply committed editors, Shannon Welch and Kathryn Belden. Third, my spectacular agent, sage writing mentor, and ever-present literary guiding light, Tina Bennett. My only hope is that this book represents a worthy match for all you have given to me, and it.
Within the space of a mere hundred years, human beings have abandoned their biologically mandated need for adequate sleep—one that evolution spent 3,400,000 years perfecting in service of life-support functions. As a result, the decimation of sleep throughout industrialized nations is having a catastrophic impact on our health, our life expectancy, our safety, our productivity, and the education of our children.
