It's the book to curl up with before falling asleep. It looks at the history, culture, folklore, language & science of sleep. Did you know that the siesta was once a British tradition? Why do we say 'sleep like a top'? Does counting sheep work? What are the very best sleeps? Who invented pyjamas? If dogs sleep so much, why are they always yawning?

Sleep is also the place of dreams & nightmares. Why are so many dreams the same & what are the archetypal recurring dreams? What is the origin of the word 'nightmare'? & what do Bugs Bunny, the surrealists & Freud have to do with dreaming? Sleep is there to be enjoyed.
