review 1: I had too much expectations for this book and it only fulfilled half. The middle chapters were slightly confusing and boring. The vignettes at the beginning of the chapters were rather ordinary. Mr. Roenneberg kept referring to the discos. I think he meant to call it clubs. Unless that is what they are called in Europe. All in all, I enjoyed learning about social jet lag. Society would function more efficiently if more people took chronobiology into account.
review 2: There are 24 cases and chapters in this book exploring the world of chronobiology and circadian rhythms. In problem-based learning format, Roenneberg produces very readable prose and isn't afraid to include charts. There are some wonderful turns of phrase and dry humour especially in Chapter 2 whi... morech debunks the myth of late sleeprs as lazy and reframes it in terms of a cultural preference for early risers. Chapter 13 discusses changing policies around cultural timing preferences and frustration. Chapter 15 entitled "when will my organs arrive?" is an entertaining discussion of jetlag. less
