「眠れない」人の福音となるような、最先端の睡眠科学の解説書であり、日常生活のなかで適切な睡眠をとるための、実用的な手引書でもある。睡眠不足の自覚はなくても、最近イライラ、ボーッとすることが多い人には、睡眠生活を見直す契機となる好著である。
睡眠を「原始時代の野蛮な習慣で、進化に逆行する」と断じた発明王エジソンは、3、4時間しか眠らなかった。その彼が1879年に白色電灯を発明して以後、人々の睡眠時間は激減を続け、いまや不眠や睡眠不足は、先進国に共通した「文明病」の様相を呈している。アメリカにおける睡眠障害や睡眠不足による直接の損害は年159億ドルにのぼり、生産力の低下や事故による間接的な損失は1500億ドルに達するという。居眠り運転による交通事故は年間10万件、時差ぼけパイロットによる航空事故は頻発している。スペースシャトルの事故や打ち上げ延期が、技術者たちの徹夜、寝不足によるという説は、説得力がある。
睡眠が人間にとってのみならず、社会の安全にとって、また経済的・生産的見地から企業にとってもいかに大切なものかがよくわかる。そして最も強烈に浮かび上がるのは、かくも大切な睡眠を人々から奪い、人間が本来持っている自然の「サーカディアンリズム」を破壊するほどに複雑化・高度化し、生産の要請に狂奔する現代社会の異様さである。「現代のアメリカはまさにゾンビの歩く国になりつつあり、それを上回るのは日本ぐらいなものである」という著者の言に、うそ寒い思いにとらわれる。
科学的なデータに裏打ちされてはいるが、本書で示される睡眠不足の防止策は、いたって当たり前の、すぐにも実行可能なことばかり。毎晩適量の睡眠をとる、自分に最適の睡眠量を知る、定時に寝起きする習慣をつける、「睡眠銀行」の口座の貯蓄残高に注意する…。その他「時差ぼけ」の解消法、「昼寝」の効用など、快眠全般のノウハウが満載である。
本書はとことん「眠り」にこだわった1冊である。あまり「眠ること」にこだわりすぎると逆にますます眠れなくなる、という当たり前の心のからくりに、だからこそ気をつけたいものだが、それさえ心に留めておけば、読者の「快眠力」は大いに増進するだろう。（濱 籟太）

Where you start reading this book will probably say a lot about your current station in life. New parents will probably skip right to chapter 12 and the section subtitled "Tips for Exhausted Parents of Newborns, Infants, and Children." Drowsy office workers might go for chapter 9, which explores the subject of midday naps (which may reduce stress and the risk of heart disease). Other chapters look at traveling (driving, jet lag), shift work, and insomnia and other sleep disorders. Dr. James Maas has spent 34 years lecturing to drowsy psychology undergraduates at Cornell University, and knows how to hold an audience--even when the subject is sleep, and even when the conclusion is that most of us don't get enough of it. This is a fascinating book; you'll want to take it in slowly and then sleep on it.
