This book brings the fascinating world of sleep biology to life in clear, accessible language. Dr. Juginovic reveals what happens during the third of our lives we spend asleep—and why it matters so profoundly for our mental and physical health.
Drawing on the latest research, the book demystifies how sleep works, explaining its powerful effects on everything from memory and metabolism to heart health, immunity, mental wellbeing, and even cancer risk. With vivid explanations and relatable examples, it explores the neurobiology of sleep and how this vital process supports nearly every system in the body.
Whether you're new to the science of sleep, a healthcare professional, an athlete, or a business leader striving for high performance, this book offers something for everyone. Chapters break down complex concepts into clear, relatable language while preserving scientific depth and accuracy.
Sleep Science Made Simple is more than just informative—it’s a call to action. It invites readers to rethink their sleep habits, understand their importance, and make lasting changes to improve overall health, performance, and quality of life.
