Why is it so easy for some people to sleep, and so hard for others? Can science help? What is the relationship between sleep and mental health? Is chemical sleep better than no sleep at all? And why is sleeplessness afflicting women now much more than men?In WIDE AWAKE Patricia Morrisroe examines these questions and more through her own battles with the maddening world of insomnia, exploring the subject scientifically, socially and emotionally. Like Andrew Solomon's The Noonday Demon or Mary Roach's Stiff, mixing personal experience with science and social insights, makes lively reading for the millions of us who are wide awake while others sleep.
