Sleepless Scrutiny
I found Sleep Demons, An Insomniac's memoir, to be an excellent and intriguing study of the history of sleep. From discoveries, to theories, to even the `average Joe's' thoughts and input. Bill Hayes gets a five across the board for an overall performance.

Middle of the Road
I have a hard time mustering more than three stars for this novel. With respect to his discussion of the science of sleeping - I found his reporting of current and historical research interesting but his own theories somewhat half-baked. The autobiographical portion of the book simply wasn't engaging. Not funny (like Devaid Sedaris) or terribly interesting either. Overall I think the book was fair at best.
Well written
As a sleep researcher myself, I appreciated how the author connected his personal sleep problems with ancient, historical, and current studies about sleep. Quoting a variety of sources from books, interviews and articles, the book presents the information in a very candid yet engaging manner. I wish the author a good night's rest, finally.
