Although humans sleep for approximately one third of our lives,
sleep itself is vastly understudied. As a biological universal, it
is easy to overlook the degree to which culture shapes how we
sleep, with whom we sleep, where and when we sleep, and how we
conceptualize sleep. This edited volume explores the cultural
dimensions of sleep in different societies around the world today,
with the explicit intention of providing a comparative context
through which we can understand the myriad ways in which sleep
reflects, and literally (as well as metaphorically) embodies
culture.
