Snooze The lost art of sleep

In the history of human civilisation, sleep is the unrivalled hero. It is the wellspring of creativity. It is the space in which so much happens, mainly because, while we are asleep, we can't squeeze any extra appointments or make any extra phone calls or look at one more thing on the internet. In sleep we are most ourselves because we have to surrender our egos. Excerpted from Snooze: The Lost Art of Sleep by Michael McGirr All rights reserved by the original copyright owners.
