Why We Sleep by Dr. Matthew Walker
This audiobook is fascinating in that it not only provides the importance of sleep, in terms of sharing all the diseases and illnesses that can be linked to the sleep depravity, but also provides how to optimize the quality of one’s sleep. I enjoyed the story the story about Thomas Edison’s mid-day sleeping habits that increased his problem solving and creativity. I also appreciated the sleeping habits of other animals.
I consider this book a must read for anyone that wants to improve or maintain their health, through sleep, regardless of age.

It was interesting to know benefits to the brain from learning a foreign language at any age.

The study of older women in a lower social-economic group was significant because it
showed benefits received by participants in a short-period of time.
