Everyone sleeps and everyone dreams. Yet we are almost entirely unconscious of what is happening to us when we sleep and we forget almost all of our dreams. This third edition of a classic introduction to the subject provides a fascinating insight into this most universal of subjects, critically analysing recent research by psychologists and neuroscientists (much of which has been published in the last ten years) and reviewing historical and cultural beliefs about dreams. Sleep and Dreaming is a comprehensive and rigorous text for undergraduate students, offering a rewarding and engaging introduction to the field. New to this Edition:- Contains much new material, particularly on the physiology of sleep- A new chapter by Professor Michael Wang on the psychological treatment of insomnia

Reviews of Previous editions: 'This book is as good an introduction to the wide scope of sleep and sleep research as one could wish to find. Can be recommended to all who wish to gain an initial introduction to the subject of sleep.' - Colin Shapiro, Times Higher Educational Supplement 'Empson's book is well written, the best of its kind, and one that deserves to be widely bought.' - Ian Oswald, Nature 'This excellent book... provides a range of information which would be of interest to and accessible to anyone with no specific knowledge about sleep and dreams, and yet manages to include sufficient literary and scientific information so that even seasoned sleep researchers will find interesting nuggets and unusual insights.' - British Journal of Psychiatry
