Counting sheep, watching the pre-dawn
light creep across the wall – for sufferers
of insomnia, the long nights it engenders
is the stuff of waking nightmares. Marina
Benjamin is intimately familiar with the
condition, and her book is a meditative
examination of attitudes and ideas about
insomnia throughout history, mingled with
her own experience fighting to reclaim the
elusive state of sleep – while each night
her husband snores blissfully beside her.
Drawing on cultural, philosophic, artistic and
societal responses to insomnia, Benjamin
asks what our inability to sleep can tell us
about ourselves and our relationships to
others. A lyrical, thoughtful book
