Why We Sleep

By Matthew Walker

Sleep isn't the thing you sacrifice for the work — it's where the work consolidates.

Walker lays out, accessibly, how sleep underpins memory, mood, learning and creativity itself. The takeaway for anyone making things is hard to ignore: protecting sleep isn't laziness, it's craft maintenance. Some figures have been debated, but the central message stands.
