Sleep Banking: The Science of Saving Sleep Be-fore You Need It
Sleep Banking: The Science of Saving Sleep Before You Need It
by Timothy Brooks
What if you could prepare for sleep loss the way you prepare for a marathon or a big presentation? What if you could "save" rest in advance-and perform better when it matters most?
In Sleep Banking, author Maxwell W. Wilson takes readers on a fascinating, science-backed journey into one of the most overlooked performance tools of our time: preemptive rest. With clarity, wit, and surprising depth, this book unpacks the emerging concept of sleep banking-what it is, how it works, and why it might just change the way we think about rest forever.
Blending neuroscience, real-world strategies, cultural insights, and cutting-edge tech trends, Sleep Banking answers questions like:
Can you really "store" sleep in advance of a busy week or stressful event?
What does sleep debt actually do to your brain, body, and behavior?
How can high-performers-from athletes to creatives-use rest as a competitive edge?
Where are sleep technologies taking us, and what should we be wary of?
Why do we still shame the well-rested and glorify exhaustion?
Whether you're a student cramming for finals, a new parent navigating unpredictable nights, or a professional aiming to show up at your best-this book offers a practical roadmap to smarter, more intentional rest.
Sleep doesn't have to be reactive. It can be strategic.
And it starts here.
