Sex Sleep Eat Drink Dream: A Day in the Life of Your Body by Jennifer Ackerman takes the reader through exactly what it sounds like: a day in the life of your body. Ackerman breaks up the book by the body waking up in the morning, all throughout the days activities, to ending the day in bed. Most people do not know, or take for granted, the importance and utter genius of the body's functions. Little things such as telling time in your sleep, that women have more nightmares than men, that the best time to run is late afternoon to evening, that half of the calories you consume can be burned off simply by fidgeting, are all told in this book.
I am a student very interested in biology and neurology, so any kind of book like this interests me. I love to know what is going on with my body, why it is happening, and then connecting it to all different types of daily life. By reading this book, I hope to gain a better understanding and appreciation for my body.
