I try to remember here how I liked the books I read (and what books I read in the first place :-))
These books are only those that I really read to a big extent. So I leave out all the books I read half, but then had something better to do or technical books where I looked something up and then went on. And also I neglect Comics :-(
For the books I read in German, I will try to provide the english title.

review
I bought this book because of a HackerNews thread about favourite non-fiction books of 2018. "Why we sleeep" was mentioned several times and also several people described it as life-changing. That's intriguing...
I have to say that is true. I hope it is. I hope I will sleep more regularly and also more in general as a consequence of having read it. Walker is so convincing that it would be disappointing of me not to follow up with changing my habits a bit.
I know for sure that the knowledge of sleep's inner workings and the damage the lack of it does to brain and body functions will stay with me forever.
What a great non-fiction book.
