De slaap is wellicht de spannendste fase waarin ons brein zich kan bevinden. Maar waarom slapen we? En wellicht nog belangrijker: waarom slagen wer er soms niét in te slapen? Wereldvermaard professor neurologie Steven Laureys duikt in het slapende brein en legt uit waarom een goede nachtrust zo belangrijk is. En ook: hoe jijzelf aan een betere, diepere slaap kunt werken. Over het fenomeen slaap wordt al duizenden jaren gespeculeerd, maar dankzij hypermoderne scantechnieken kunnen we tegenwoordig de hersenen ook tijdens de slaap onderzoeken. Die inzichten leren ons ontzettend veel bij over de verschillende soorten slaap én over slaapproblemen.
