The Lost Art of Sleep

Non fiction - an illuminating exploration of sleep with appearances by Florence Nightingale, Aristotle, Plato, the author and his family: wife Jenny, son Benny and twins Clare and Jake.

From the blurb - Bed is the most dangerous place on earth. More people die there than anywhere else. Maybe that's why each passing generation spends less time in bed than the one before.

The arrival of baby twins sent Michael McGirr in search of an ancient practice for which bed is the ideal setting. It's called sleep.
