本书非同寻常地记录了20名病人的经历，他们是20世纪20年代席卷全球的昏睡性脑炎大流行的幸存者，并在40年后因 Sacks 医生给予的新药 L-DOPA 而体验到了惊人且具爆发性的“觉醒”效果。他所讲述的这些非凡人物的故事感人至深，往往充满勇气，有时也令人唏嘘。通过他们，他还探讨了关于健康、疾病、苦难、照料与人类生存境况等最为普遍的问题。

如果你对具体细节感兴趣、不喜欢戏剧化改编的话，那本书（奥利弗·萨克斯的《睡人》/ Awakenings）可能会是更好的参考资料。
The book (Awakenings by Oliver Sacks) might be a better resource if you're interested in specifics and don't care for dramatization.
另外，如果你想了解奥利弗·萨克斯在举重之外的一面，可以看看《睡人》（Awakenings，他的书，后来改编成电影，由罗伯特·德尼罗和罗宾·威廉姆斯主演，后者饰演萨克斯）或者《错把妻子当帽子的人》。他还写过很多其他同样很有意思的书……
Also, if you want to learn more about Oliver Sacks outside of his weightlifting, check out Awakenings (his book, later made into a movie starring Robert DeNiro and Robin Williams, with the latter playing Sacks) or The Man who Mistook His Wife for a Hat. He wrote a number of other books that are also interesting…
……这需要某种本体感觉。Oliver Sacks 谈了很多学校没教过的其他感官。我可以推荐《The man who mistook his wife for a hat》、《Hallucinations》和《Awakenings》。
…which requires some form of proprioception. Oliver Sacks talks a lot about other senses beyond those covered in school. I can recommend "The man who mistook his wife for a hat", "Hallucinations", and "Awakenings".
此外，这是一种在很多大众杂志（比如《Discover》，不知为什么我坐飞机时总会买它，里面有个固定连载）和很多书（比如奥利弗·萨克斯的《睡人》）里经常出现的套路故事。这篇投稿到底符不符合 HN 的讨论标准尚存争议，不过它确实引出了一些有价值的评论。
Further, it’s a popular recurring story arc that appears in many popular magazines (Discover, which for some reason I always buy when flying has a regular series) and in many books (eg, ``Awakenings’’ by Oliver Sacks) Whether this particular submission meets the criteria for a HN discussion could be debated, although it does seem to have generated at least some useful comments.
我正在读奥利弗·萨克斯的英文版《睡人》（Awakenings）和斯蒂芬·埃因霍恩的瑞典语版《同胞》（Medmänniskor）。
I'm reading Awakenings by Oliver Sacks in English and Medmänniskor by Stefan Einhorn in Swedish.
看到 HN 的标题，我立马想到了奥利弗·萨克斯的书《睡人》（Awakenings）[1]。他发现左旋多巴（L-DOPA）可以让脑炎患者暂时从类似昏迷的状态中苏醒。不知这篇文章的标题“吃安眠药后苏醒”是不是在致敬那本书……
Reading the HN title, I was immediately reminded of the Oliver Sacks book Awakenings[1]. He discovered that the drug L-DOPA could temporarily awaken encephalitis patients from a coma-like state. I wonder if the article's title "Awakening after a sleeping pill" is a reference to that book.…
