Sleepless has altered my perception of sleep entirely. I was enthralled by The Times' Book of the Week, which stated, "This book will inspire you to get up, light a candle, and experience your own Night Self."

The Night Self is described as being creative, curious, vulnerable, enchanted, courageous, and other such qualities.

In the winter of 2020, Annabel Abbs faced a series of bereavements. Despite keeping busy during the day, she struggled to sleep at night. However, her sleeplessness led to a profound and unexpected discovery: her Night Self.

As the night transformed into a place of creativity and liberation, Annabel realized she wasn't alone. She discovered that women, throughout history, have sought sanctuary, inspiration, and courage in the darkness. Drawing on the latest science, which suggests that we are more imaginative, open-minded, and reflective at night, Annabel embarked on a journey to explore the potential of her Night Self.

Sleepless follows Annabel's journey, encompassing midnight hikes, starlit swims, and visits to various locations, including Singapore, the brightest city on Earth, and the darkest corner of the Arctic Circle. The book ultimately leads to Annabel's quest for sleep, a pursuit that is both elusive and captivating.

Through Sleepless, readers are invited to feel less anxious about their sleep and to embrace the possibilities that the night offers. The book serves as a moving and revelatory voyage into the dark, encouraging individuals to tap into their creative energies and explore the unknown.
