"Sleep is quite a popular activity, indeed most humans spend around a third of their lives asleep. However, cultural, political, or aesthetic thought tends to remain concerned with the interpretation and actions of those who are awake. How to Sleep argues instead that sleep is a complex vital phenomena with a dynamic aesthetic and biological consistency. Arguing through examples drawn from contemporary, modern and renaissance art; from literature; film and computational media, and bringing these into relation with the history and findings of sleep science, this book argues for a new interplay between biology and culture. Meditations on sex, exhaustion, drugs, hormones and scientific instruments all play their part in this wide-ranging exposition of sleep as an ecology of interacting processes. How to Sleep builds on the interlocking of theory, experience and experiment so that the text itself is a lively articulation of bodies, organs and the aesthetic systems that interact with them. This book won't enhance your sleeping skills, but will give you something surprising to think about whilst being ostensibly awake."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

Les bienfaits d’un repos mérité, de nombreuses fois réitérés au cours des siècles antérieurs, n’avaient jamais amené les historiens à s’interroger sur la place qu’occupait le sommeil dans les sociétés passées. Longtemps, notre histoire entière a été l’histoire d’hommes éveillés. Il est pourtant indéniable que la société française à la veille de l’Industrialisation se caractérisait par une culture dominante de sommeil, très largement christianisée et vivant selon des habitudes héritées. Le lieu d’accueil (chambres, garnis, dortoirs), le mobilier et les accessoires (lits, bourdalous, réveils, veilleuses), les attitudes du corps endormi (positionnement du corps, durée du sommeil), les rituels (prières, sujets de méditation), les vêtements (chemise de nuit, bonnet) sont des éléments partagés par la société française, tout en étant des marqueurs de distinction sociale. Un aristocrate parisien ne dormait pas comme un paysan de la Gâtine poitevine, une femme différemment d’un homme, un vieillard plus difficilement qu’un enfant… En ce sens, pratiques et discours sont intimement liés. La question du sommeil a en effet occupé une place spécifique dans l’organisation des savoirs touchant à l’étude de la nature humaine. Elle appartient, autant à la médecine, qu’à la philosophie ou encore à la théologie. Autant de disciplines qui s’interrogent sur les fonctions du sommeil, ses enjeux, mais aussi ses troubles : insomnie, somnambulisme, sommeil excessif…

An authoritative and accessible guide to what happens when we shut our eyes at night We spend a third of our lives in bed, but how much do we really understand about how sleep affects us? In the past forty years, scientists have discovered that our sleep (or lack of it) can affect nearly every aspect of our waking lives. Poor sleep could be a sign of a disease, the result of a vitamin or iron deficiency, or the cause of numerous other problems, both sleeping and waking. Yet many people, even medical personnel, are unaware of the dangers of poor sleep. Enter Dr. Meir Kryger, a world authority on the science of sleep, with a comprehensive guide to the mysteries of slumber that combines detailed case studies, helpful tables, illustrations, and pragmatic advice. Everyone needs a good night's sleep, and many of us will experience some difficulty sleeping or staying awake over the course of our lifetimes (or know someone who does). Kryger's comprehensive text is a much†'needed resource for insomniacs; for those who snore, can't stay awake, or experience disturbing dreams; and for the simply curious. Uniquely wide ranging, The Mystery of Sleep is more than a handbook; it is a guide to the world of sleep and the mysterious disorders that affect it.
