One-Minute Book Review

Sleep Drink Breathe: Simple Daily Habits for Profound Long-Term Health – by Dr. Michael Breus

We’ve previously reviewed this author’s more famous “The Power Of When”, which is about optimizing various aspects of one’s circadian rhythm, and this time the focus is on three things:

• Sleep

• Hydration

• Breathing

Now, all three of those things tend to be activities that we take for granted:

• If we don’t take sleep, then sleep takes us, so how badly can one mess this up?

• Hydration is something we’re compelled to do by one of the strongest biological impulses there is.

• Breathing is something we do almost all of the time, and mostly do so without thinking about it.

The truth is, though, that very many people are going through life sleep-deprived, dehydrated, and not breathing optimally. So… Why are we doing so badly, and how can we fix it?

Dr. Breus explores the strains of the modern world on our ancient physiology, and how to get things back to how they’re supposed to be, without necessarily having to live a pre-industrial lifestyle, let alone a paleolithic one.

This he does by, in each case, providing assessment tools (i.e. how well we’re doing for each one, or not, as the case may be), troubleshooting tips, and finally optimization tips.

The style is very readable pop-science, with a focus on first conveying understanding, and then making everything practically applicable in our daily life.

Bottom line: if you’d like to build better health from the basics upwards, then this book will encourage you to not take the basics for granted!
