Unlock the Secrets of Your Thirding Life [1]
You spend a full third of your life in the dark. Do you actually know what happens there? [1]
In Mapping the Darkness, award-winning journalist Kenneth Miller pulls back the covers on the wild, eccentric, and brilliant pioneers who founded the modern science of sleep. From Nathaniel Kleitman living inside a Kentucky cave in 1938 to the accidental discovery of REM sleep and the battle against modern sleep deprivation, this is a masterclass in curiosity and obsession. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Praise from The New York Times: “A propulsive, utterly engrossing history... balancing rigor and awe.” [1]
