The Secret World of Sleep: The Surprising Science of the Mind at RestIn recent years, neuroscientists have uncovered the countless ways our brain trips us up in day to day life, from its propensity toward irrational thought to how our intuitions deceive us. The latest research on sleep, however, points in the opposite direction. Where old wives tales have long advised to "sleep on a problem," today scientists are discovering the truth behind these folk sayings, and how the busy brain radically improves our minds

In recent years, neuroscientists have uncovered the countless ways our brain trips us up in day-to-day life, from its propensity toward irrational thought to how our intuitions deceive us. The latest research on sleep, however, points in the opposite direction. Where old wives tales have long advised to "sleep on a problem," today scientists are discovering the truth behind these folk sayings, and how the busy brain radically improves our minds through sleep and dreams. In The Secret World of Sleep , neuroscientist Penny Lewis explores the latest research into the nighttime brain to understand the real benefits of sleep. She shows how, while our body rests, the brain practices tasks it learned during the day, replays traumatic events to mollify them, and forges connections between distant concepts. By understanding the roles that the nocturnal brain plays in our waking life, we can improve the relationship between the two, and even boost creativity and become smarter. This is a fascinating exploration of one of the most surprising corners of neuroscience that shows how science may be able to harness the power of sleep to improve learning, health, and more.

Great quality and easy to assemble!
Color: Blues, Size: 56 LB, Color: Blues, Size: 56 LB
I’m really happy with this dumbbell set. The stand was very easy to assemble and feels sturdy once put together. The neoprene coating on the weights is comfortable to grip and doesn’t slip, even when your hands get a little sweaty. I also love the colors—they make the set look nice in my workout space. Perfect for home workouts, compact, and easy to move around. Definitely worth it if you’re looking for a practical and stylish weight set!

Happy customer
Color: Black, Size: 32 LB, Color: Black, Size: 32 LB
I recently purchased a set of black dumbbell weights, and I couldn't be happier with my decision! These dumbbells are solid and built to last. The weight material feels durable, and I can tell they're gonna last. These weights are perfect for all my exercises. They come in a range of sizes, allowing me to easily adjust the weight for different muscle groups. I love the sleek black finish! It not only looks stylish in my home gym but also adds a touch of professionalism to my space. The price point is excellent considering the quality and durability of these dumbbells. I've seen similar products at a much higher price, but these offer the same benefits without breaking the bank. Their design makes them easy to grip, and the smooth texture ensures I can maintain my hold even during the sweatiest workouts. Plus, they're compact and easy to store, making them perfect for home use. Overall, these dumbbell weights check all the boxes. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to enhance their fitness journey!

Great Set
Color: Multicolor, Size: 146 LB
This is a great set of dumbbells. I was looking for the weights in this set and I wanted a nice rack to keep them off the floor. So far they feel solid and accurate and are working as expected. The reason for 4 stars and not 5 - The (2) 20 pound dumbbells shipped separate, which was fine...but everything else was in 1 box! That's 106 pounds plus the rack and packaging. The delivery guy struggled and almost dropped it, and then I had to move it from my front door step. How much more could it cost them to ship it in 3 boxes or redistribute it into 2 boxes under 100 pounds? So lucky the box didn't drop and the contents get lost or wrecked. Otherwise it is a great set!
