From Library Journal

This fascinating, thought-provoking study discusses the central role of sleep in our lives. After probing the scientific literature, Wiley and Formby, researchers at the Sansum Medical Research Institute, conclude that "the disastrous slide in the health of the American people corresponds to the increase in light-generating night activities and the carbohydrate consumption that follows." Our internal clocks are governed by seasonal variations in light and dark; extending daylight artificially leads to a craving for sugar, especially concentrated, refined carbohydrates that, in turn, cause obesity. More seriously, lack of sleep inhibits the production of prolactin and melatonin--deranging our immune systems and causing depression, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. The authors prescribe sleeping at least nine and a half hours in total darkness in the fall and winter and switching to a diet low in carbohydrates and high in protein, vegetables, and healthy fats. They support their arguments with 100 pages of notes and by tracing the progression of disease from hunter-gatherers to our high-tech society. Despite its somewhat strident, all-knowing tone, this illuminating work is highly recommended for academic and public libraries.

From Booklist

The lightbulb put us out of sync with nature. Way back when, people spent the summer sleeping less and eating heavily in preparation for winter because light triggers the hunger for carbohydrates. Now, with light available 24 hours a day, we gulp down food all year long. So, Wiley and Formby assert, it is light, not what we eat or whether we exercise, that causes obesity--and diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. Indeed, eating bacon, ham, butter, and eggs for breakfast doesn't impair health, and exercise can make you fat. If we considered our waking periods as equivalent to the long days of summer and the short ones of winter, we would avoid those health problems. Wiley and Formby offer three steps for improvement, but they aren't optimistic, because the light-driven speed and intensity of contemporary life may be too much to overcome. Still, try, first, plugging the leaks in your psyche; then, because you will have lost weight, resisting carbohydrates; and, finally, swallowing a few pills and helpful foods.

5.0étoiles sur 5 quite interesting, Mai 14 2009
Par L. LeBlanc (Chelmsford, Ontario Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
I very much enjoyed reading this book and found the information quite interesting. I found explanations for things I believed in and had to reread some sections to fully comprehend it. I originally read the book from the local library and then purchased it because I wanted it for my own collection of reference books. I work in the holistic health/fitness field and have shared some of the information with clients.

I would have to agree with other reviewers that this book has some very interesting ideas, but is very poorly written.

4.0étoiles sur 5 A NEW WAY TO THINK ABOUT YOUR LIFE ... AND HOW TO LIGHT IT, Mai 25 2003
Par Alan W. Petrucelli (THE ENTERTAINMENT REPORT (ALAN W. PETRUCELLI)) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Even before it was officially published, the book woke up medical and government experts, some of whom ere shocked, stunned and surprised by authors/researchers T.S.
Wiley and Bent Formby's claims that 9.5 hours of sleep a night can lower blood pressure, erase depression, prevent cancer and help people lose weight. (Their theory, in a much
reduced nutshell: Our physiology has been programmed since Day One to eat and breed in sync with seasonal variations in light exposure; in other words, "with the invention of the light bulb 70 years ago, we fundamentally altered this delicate biological rhythm.") Why have we been kept in the dark about such supposed healthy connections? The answers are here, along with various tips and tricks, secrets and suggestions. These guys have done their homework --- their notes and resources make up a third of the book's 350 pages --- but before stocking up on room-darkening shades and tossing all those three-ways, spend time carefully reading their claims. Then ask your doctor. And shrink.
