On the subject of Why We Sleep: I'm not sure how well it corresponds to the book, but Matthew Walker also has a Google Talks talk on the same subject that I recommend watching if you're not a book person: this video
Matthew Walker wrote that book [1]. He also has a few talks on YouTube worth checking out. From memory [2] was an informative one for me. [1] [LINK] [2] this video
His Google talk is also very interesting, a lot of other effects besides Alzheimer's are related to sleep deprivation this video
