My 10-year old son and I are always on the lookout for non-fiction books with the right amount of information, illustration and humor. This one nails it! He was fascinated to learn about the quirks of sleep, and I learned some things too. Terrific!

Fascinating and educational

This is the most fascinating book you'll ever read about sleep. You won't be able to put it down. It is really a book for all ages. The illustrations are fun. The information is, what's that word again, "fascinating". Ever think of milk as helping you sleep, well if you drank 30 glasses, maybe! If you live to be 70 you'll have spent 23 years sleeping. Mozart was inspired by the music he heard in his dreams. Birds take mini-naps of 30 seconds or so while flying. That's how they can fly non-stop during long migrations. Albert Einstein was at his best when he slept 10 hours a day. Winston Churchill did almost the opposite. Giraffes and elephants need 3 hours of sleep; cats need 16 and bats need 20 hours. What is the record for staying awake the longest? Read the book; its fascinating.
