The Sleep Revolution aims to convince readers of the need to reclaim sleep, not only because it makes us healthier and more productive in our waking lives, but also because sleep allows us to connect with a deeper part of our selves, namely through dreaming. Sleep is a special inner world, in which the things that we typically define ourselves by, such as work, relationships, hope and fears fall away to make space for fresh, reinvigorated perspectives. When we pay attention to these inner worlds and their messages, we can carry the wisdom gained while asleep into our waking lives. By nourishing and replenishing ourselves with sleep, we can achieve more during the day. Re-discovering and renewing their relationship with sleep, readers will be inspired to join the sleep revolution.
