The only book that hopes you never reach the end. Inside are twenty quiet chapters: small, true pieces of sleep science told gently, why the body cools itself to sleep, what the slow waves in your head are doing, why yawns travel, and calm stories in which nothing bad ever happens. A lighthouse keeper counts his things. A night baker shapes tomorrow's bread. A slow train crosses a dark valley, and the last station cannot be missed. Every chapter is complete in itself, ends softly, and gives you full permission to stop mid-sentence. No plot to follow. No cliffhangers. No homework. Set in generous type for low light and tired eyes, and written, sentence by deliberately unhurried sentence, to be lost, one drowsy page at a time. Keep it on the nightstand. Open it anywhere. Put it down anywhere. The book will keep.
