Explore the fascinating science of sleep with Сон под микроскопом (Sleep Under the Microscope), a popular science book by Oxford professor Vladislav Vyazovsky, a leading researcher in sleep biology and evolution, and Marina Karlin, a Swiss journalist and physicist. This isn’t a self-help guide to better sleep—it’s an in-depth journey into what happens to us and our brains during rest, from birth to old age.
Why do newborns spend most of their time sleeping? How does sleep change as we age, and does it serve the same purpose at the start and end of life? The book tackles questions like why some wake before dawn while others sleep through, whether we can truly sleep and be awake at the same time, and if we can minimize sleep without consequences. It also explores how the moon affects sleep, how a German bunker helped calibrate our biological clocks, and what sleep tells us about adapting to life on Mars.
Through a blend of neuroscience, evolution, and real-world experiments, Vyazovsky and Karlin reveal sleep’s critical role in our survival as a species. A compelling read for anyone curious about the biology behind our nightly journey.
