Book review: “The Neuroscience of Sleep and Dreams” by Patrick McNamara

Abstract

The Neuroscience of Sleep and Dreams, written by Patrick McNamara, is undoubtedly ambitious: covering, within a single book and in an integrated manner, many psychological aspects of both sleep and dreams. From the multiple forms of sleep across species to the (potential) functions of dreaming, this book addresses outstanding questions on how and why we sleep and dream.
