Annabel Abbs’s exploration into the mysteries and potential of nighttime consciousness offers a fresh perspective on the interplay between sleeplessness and personal insight. In a world where sleep is often prized as the ultimate restorative, Abbs gently challenges conventional wisdom by illuminating the creative, emotional, and intellectual opportunities that arise in the hours of wakefulness after dark. By examining historical, scientific, and personal narratives, she invites readers to reconsider their relationship with the night self—the version of ourselves that emerges when the world quiets and the mind is unmoored from daytime routines.
