Alexey Gusey had a fair criticism of Matthew Walker's 'Why We Sleep':

He sort goes a bit ad hominem on some parts but he has a lot of fair points.

Too bad, thanks :( When I read that book it has a profound impact on me and changed several habits I had. There are always two sides of the coin eh...
Well I am not sure there is anything substantially wrong in the lifestyle changes that Walker proposes.

The only thing that is wrong is the fatalism with which he presents it. It's the 'do this or die soon' fear mongering which is uncalled for.

Life is complicated do what you can and what works for you.

I'm really impressed with that work
