Description

全世界將近一半的人一生中都會遭遇睡眠問題，你也是其中之一嗎？ 一天該睡幾小時才正常？生理時鐘如何調控身體正常運作？ 笑到不支倒地竟然是睡眠障礙惹的禍？睡覺打鼾有可能危及性命？ 「鬼壓床」是幽靈作祟還是睡眠出狀況？怎樣才能不失眠一覺到天亮？ 一位患有「猝睡症」的科學記者從自身的經歷出發，追索種種睡眠障礙的起因，耗費近六年時間，專訪全球數十位頂尖醫師、科學家與臨床醫學人員，以及和深受睡眠失調所苦的人士進行數百次訪談，引述實際發生過的案例與故事、採取幽默風趣的筆法，介紹科學界對睡眠障礙病症最新的研究與見解。 亨利．尼可斯在二十一歲時被診斷出患有猝睡症，一種會讓他無預警睡著的疾病。大多數身體健康但工作量過大的人，或許巴不得自己罹患這種病，可是對亨利而言，無法保持清醒的狀態嚴重損害他的行為能力，尤其是莫名其妙昏倒、晚上睡不好、幻覺與睡眠麻痺等症狀伴隨出現的時候。 身為科學記者與生物學家的亨利．尼可斯決心探究睡眠障礙的科學，發現有近半數的人在一生中都會經歷某種睡眠失調的情況。從針對失眠的認知行為治療到一群患有嗜睡症的杜賓犬，這段旅程帶他走過晦暗不明的睡眠世界，讓他徹底領悟自己的人生與健康。 《睡眠腦科學》以詼諧幽默且富含智慧的文筆，透過個人的反思、與睡眠障礙者及相關研究學者的訪談、醫學史的趣聞及藝文界的洞察，改變我們理解睡眠的方式。 書系共同策畫——清華大學生命科學系助理教授 黃貞祥 林志豪（林新醫院腦中風中心主任及神經內科主治醫師）、陳錫中（台大精神醫學部暨睡眠疾患中心醫師）、蔡宇哲（台灣應用心理學會理事長、高醫心理系助理教授）、鄭淳予（腦科學博士暨腦神經科臨床醫師）——同聲推薦 出版社 馬可孛羅 (城邦)
