Hi All,
Just thought I'd make a really general request for any people's favorite or suggested Japanese non-fiction reading. Of course, we all have our personal preferences in theme and topic but putting that aside I'm pretty open-minded and would be willing to try reading any books people thought were really great for whatever reasons.
Just in case it's not clear I'm primarily looking for books written by Japanese people in Japanese.
Thanks in advance,
k.
「朝がつらい」がなくなる本

The author is a doctor or physician who's done research on the topic of sleep, and I think he wrote that he runs a clinic for sleep-deprived people. In the book he describes the importance of the quality of your sleep and compiles techniques for sleeping soundly and waking up feeling refreshed instead of grumpy and tired. Thus fighting the 「朝がつらい」.
It had been recommended on lifehacker.jp for a while, so I included it in my manga/light novel order on a whim because I find the topic interesting. I'm not reading it very frequently since after a long introduction it's basically just a compilation of tips, but I've read about a third of it and I don't find it to be much more difficult than light novels. But then I haven't read a regular novel for adults yet, so I don't know how big the difficulty gap is anyway.
