I enjoyed this. I think it was probably too long. You can only hear someone say that longer better sleep is good in so many ways before attention starts to wander.

Lots of good stuff especially around learning, memory, and healing. I did keep wondering how well controlled some of the studies were, though.

Didn't really buy in to some of the larger scale solutions to improve the sleep quality of the population. I think it isn't something that can be forced and needs to come as a larger change of attitudes and priorities. I didn't like the sleep-credit idea employer/workplace link, nor tying it to financial rewards.

All in all, a decent enough read on sleep. I would perhaps have liked a bit more on the future direction of travel of sleep research.
