Beskrivelse af Sleepless
A revelatory exploration of insomnia which shows how women throughout history have found healing, creativity and courage at night - and how you can too. In the winter of 2020, Annabel Abbs experienced a series of bereavements. In the wake of this grief, Annabel kept herself frenetically busy by day - organising funeral arrangements, caring for her children - but by night, she couldn't sleep. A more profound wakefulness than Annabel had ever experienced before, this period of sleeplessness led to an unexpected revelation: her Night Self. Once Annabel stopped fighting her insomnia, the night became a place of creativity, reflection and liberation - as it has been for women throughout history. From the radical fifteenth-century astronomer Laura Cereta, to subversive artist Louise Bourgeois, to Virginia Woolf, to the activist Peace Pilgrim who walked day and night across America for twenty-eight years, women have found sanctuary, inspiration and even power in darkness.Journeying from the darkest corner of the Arctic Circle to Singapore, the brightest city on Earth, Annabel sets out to discover her Night Self through travelling, drawing, writing, stargazing, night-swimming and more. Free from the anxiety of getting 'eight hours', Sleepless shows that embracing the night can open up a whole world of possibilities - even, perhaps, sleep.
