Categories: Health, Fitness & Dieting, Science & Math
Sleep researcher Rosalind D. Cartwright draws on decades of work to explain how sleep and dreams process emotions and memories. She shows that dreaming helps us regulate mood and recover from emotional experiences such as divorce or depression. Cartwright also discusses sleep disorders, including sleepwalking and violent behavior during sleep, and the legal questions they raise. The book reveals that the mind is active and working on our problems around the clock.
