Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Plagued by insomnia for twenty years, Marie Darrieussecq turns her
attention to the causes, implications and consequences of
sleeplessness: a nocturnal suffering that culminates at 4 a.m. and
then defines the next day. In Sleepless, she recounts her own
experiences alongside those of fellow insomniacs, mostly writers
– ‘as if writing were not sleeping’ – Ovid, Marcel Proust,
Virginia Woolf, Marguerite Duras, Franz Kafka, Georges Perec and
others. With her inimitable humour, she describes her dealings with
a somnologist and her attempts to find a remedy – trying sleeping
pills, cannabis, alcohol, bedtime rituals, acupuncture, yoga,
hypnosis, psychoanalysis, a gravity blanket and a range of
sleep-aid devices. Darrieussecq considers bedrooms, beds,
clinophilia (‘the tendency to remain in a prone position without
sleeping for prolonged periods of time’), her need to be alone in
bed, those without beds, the homeless, refugees, trauma and
capitalism’s role in sleeplessness, our constant wakefulness
online, the forest as a hypnagogic zone and how our relationship
with animals is connected to our sleep, or lack of it. Ranging
between autobiography, clinical observation and criticism,
Sleepless is a graceful, inventive meditation by one of the most
daring, inventive novelists writing today.
