Diane B. Boivin, a world-renowned expert in circadian rhythms (biological processes that change from day to night) and Director of the Centre for Study and Treatment of Circadian Rhythms, has written a fascinating guide on sleep and sleep disorders. In nine chapters, she helps readers understand that quality sleep is beneficial for overall good health.

Abundantly illustrated with figures, tables and photos, this book is a clear and accessible explanation of the different phenomena associated with sleep: why we sleep, everyone's different sleep needs, the relationship between insomnia, stress and obesity, and more.

The author pays special focus to people with disrupted sleep patterns: night shift workers and new mothers. She also gives practical tips related to the theme of each chapter.

You can buy the book from the Trécarré website.
