Summary
This audiobook was made for that exact hour.
Ten stories drawn from the science and history of sleep — each one fascinating enough to quiet a restless mind, calm enough not to keep it awake. A seventeen-year-old who stayed awake for eleven days and watched his own mind come apart. The lost practice of sleeping in two separate blocks that most of humanity followed before electric light erased it. The graduate student who discovered REM sleep by watching a child's eyes move in the dark. An Italian family carrying a gene that makes sleep impossible. The sleepwalker who cooked a full meal in the night and found the evidence in the morning. The epidemic that swept through the world in 1917 and left thousands suspended between sleep and wakefulness for decades. And the neuroscientist who discovered that the sleeping brain spends its nights quietly cleaning itself.
No chapters. No cliffhangers. One continuous, unhurried journey narrated in a single deep male voice, designed to carry the listener from the restlessness of the evening toward the quiet of sleep.
For everyone who has ever lain in the dark, too wired for silence and too tired for anything stimulating, and wished there was something in between.
