Editorial Review (from Amazon.com)
We may spend up to one-third of our lives asleep--but there is no rest for the brain. On the contrary, sleeping is a time of continual, spontaneous brain activity largely independent of external stimuli. Through a brilliant examination of recent studies of sleep patterns, dreaming, and disorders such as insomnia, J. Allan Hobson reveals that we know about the physical basis of human consciousness and dispels many myths about sleeping.

John Strubhart thinks this book is Excellent.
The Scientific American book series has many excellent entries. Even though this book is a little bit dated, it is an excellent overview of sleep research. It is filled with fascinating research based information and as always, the graphics are vivid and entirely relevant.
