    I just started reading Why We Sleep, but have been working my way through The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt - very relevant for the university context!

    I read the Anxious Generation as well! I think Haidt makes a compelling case being proactive around social media use in particular for children and adolescents.

      Agreed! Especially as a counsellor currently working with young adults, I hope for increased proactivity in limiting social media usage until brains are more fully developed!

    I just finished reading Why We Sleep, and I'm currently not reading any other psychology-related books at the moment, but one book that I absolutely loved reading was Atomic Habits by James Clear.

Professor Pozzulo’s Pick (June, 2024)

  Professor Pozzulo’s Pick (June, 2024) Why we sleep: Unlocking the power of sleep and dreams  by Matthew Walker, Ph.D. (published by  Simon & Schuster) My take: I’ll admit it, I thought I knew about sleep….get 7-9 hours of sleep a night, if you can’t sleep meditate and if that doesn’t work, get up and do something else. I was curious to read Walker’s book, Why we sleep: Unlocking the power of sleep and dreams (published by Simon & Schuster). Well, as it turns out there’s A LOT more to sleep than I thought. I’ll mention upfront that the book has been met with some criticism of Walker’s claims, so I was even more curious. In Why we sleep the reader is provided with several examples suggesting that a lack of adequate sleep both in quantity and quality is connected to ill health, from depression to Alzheimer’s to cardiovascular problems to cancer. I was hard pressed to think of a disorder or illness, mental or physical, that wasn’t connected to (lack of) sleep according to Walker.
