Ask HN: Most accurate scientific book on human sleep?

helped me more than Why We Sleep and other sleep books.

Why We Sleep has some issues, but for a primer, it's a good intro.

Nonetheless I recommend the book "Sync" by Steven Strogatz (2003) -- particularly chapter 3 on sleep

reading Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art helped me more than Why We Sleep and other sleep books.

I later read the book Hello Sleep [1].

A somewhat niche but good book on sleep-disordered breathing is "Life Saving Sleep" by Barry Krakow

I enjoyed reading Life Time by Russell Foster [1].

The most detailed you can find would be "principles and practices of sleep medicine"

A book that I found pretty good, albeit at times redundant, is "Say Goodnight To Insomnia".

The Cambridge textbook The Neuroscience of Sleep and Dreams[1] I found surprisingly approachable.

I really enjoyed "The Sleep Solution" by Chris Winter
