From brain biology to bedtime behaviours, if you’re looking for explanations for your unconscious antics, then this is a must-read. This book takes the reader on a journey through the evolution of the research of sleep while maintaining an engaging and light-hearted narrative. This book is a perfect example of excellent science communication, as the author translates complex scientific studies to a mass audience with ease.

Snoozefest is structured in such a way that the reader jumps from one study or scientific discovery to the next throughout history, exploring not only the function of sleep, but also what dreams mean and advice on how to improve your sleep. There are also many fascinating sidebars and information boxes that run along with the main text for extra insight into the science of sleep. Don’t let the vibrant illustrations deceive you; although this book may appear to be written for a teen audience, its content will provide surprisingly useful information for all ages to enjoy.
