From the brilliant psychoanalyst behind Strictly Bipolar and What
is Madness, a short and fascinating guide to the history of human
sleep - and why we can't seem to sleep any more 'Persuasive,
absorbing and refreshingly sane... [A] bracing and important
intervention in the debate... Leader points the way to a richer and
more humane understanding of our problems with sleep' Guardian One
in four adults sleeps badly. Sleeping pill prescriptions have
increased dramatically over the last three decades, as have the
incidence of sleep clinics. Sleep used to be a natural state, easy
as breathing, but increasingly it is an insecure commodity.
...Isn't it? Our relationship to sleep surfaces and resurfaces
throughout human history, each time telling us something new about
our indivudual and collective psychology. From the industrial
revolution to blue-light on our phones, from the ancient art of
dream interpretation to the modern science of Freud, sleep is
connected to wider social patterns, to shifting norms and
expectations. Weaving together cultural, social, economic and
psychoanalytic influences, Darian Leader delves into the truth
about this universal human experience.
