- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Hilarious, adorable, but probably best for kitty cat lovers. Guess what? That's a lot of readers!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5My cat just threw up on the bed this morning, so reading through this book felt particularly relevant today. Every page I turned to had me thinking of a specific behavior of one of my cats. Very cute, funny, and quick read for cat lovers, makes a great gift for the cat lady in your life. (I received this book from LibraryThing's Early Reviewers, but all views are my own)
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I think these books have finally jumped the shark. The previous books of poems were funny, but this was super repetitive, not very well written, and kind of dumb. The "advice" is just a list of things cats do. It's way too wordy for this sort of a gift book, and there aren't enough adorable pictures. The advice isn't funny enough or original enough. Would make a good gift for people who love cats and don't think too hard, but otherwise I would give it a pass (and buy "I Could Pee on This" instead).
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Charming and funny. A great gift for any friend or relative that you know to be a lover of cats! True to cat life as well! Hah!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Mothing much to say except this is just plain humorous.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I received this book as part of the Early Reviewers books. I have to admit I am a bit bias for cats. I enjoyed this book. The advice from the cats are pretty much true. This was a fun and adorable read. A book I will definitely keep on my bookshelf.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5N.B This was a promotional copy given to me through LibraryThing's giveaway book program.
As a short novelty read, You Need More Sleep is a quick, fun miniature-sized book that will sound familiar to anyone who loves - and is frequently frustrated by - cats. The advice given is perfectly cat-like in nature, wittily written, and short enough that the joke doesn't grow old and stale before the ending. - Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I was hoping for fun/quirky/tongue in cheek advice from cats about living a more relaxed human life. Instead it just shows stock pictures of cats and describes frustrating things that they do. One extra star for the cute pictures. May be good for a dedicated cat fancier, but it wasn't original or fun to read.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5If you own cats or have ever owned cats you'll laugh out out at least once at the sarcastic advice from 'cats'. It's amazing how we all recognize the same things about these creatures and how so many of us anthropomorphize them. Good stocking stuffer for all cat people.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A cute little gift book for cat lovers and people that hate (or love to hate) motivational posters and books. I didn't find it quite as funny as "I could Pee on This" but it was still enjoyable. Fun to read a few pages when you need a snarky pick-me-up.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Meh. A small gift type book, so repetitive and smug I couldn't bother to finish it.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5What I believed to be a small little quirky life book with pictures about cats turned out to be more. It is still a quirky little life book with pictures of cats, but full of realtistic and usable advice. Great book for cat lovers and others in your life.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This was a very cute, humorous book about the lessons cats would teach us if we could understand them. With advice about relationships, work, and ways to just enjoy life more, I'd recommend this book to anyone who has ever had experience with cats.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book would be a good gift for a cat lover – either as a stocking stuffer or a party favor. It is the same size as the author’s earlier book, I Could Pee on This. Both are approximately 6 ½ by 5 inches and 111 pages of text and pictures so that they are gift-size. I was disappointed in You Need More Sleep; it did not seem nearly as original and fun as the earlier book. I think a big difference is that You Need More Sleep is in prose instead of poetry, and tries to be more serious.

You Need More Sleep - Francesco Marciuliano
introduction
Listen to the Cats
How many times have you felt overwhelmed by life only to look over and see your cat sprawled out on your coffee table, enjoying hour five of his third nap of the day? How many times have you overanalyzed your every little action only to notice your cat peeing in full view of everyone, sometimes locking eyes with you as if to say, ’Sup?
How many times have you been stymied by indecision only to watch your cat walk straight up to a glass and slap it to the floor because it’s Tuesday and things have got to get
