An exploration of night - the nocturnal world, insomnia, the creative potential of the dark hours, The work that happens while most of us sleep - by Sunday Times bestselling author Dan Richards
There is something special about the night.
For many, dusk and evening conjure thoughts of starlit skies, romance, bedtime stories and rest. For others, the small hours mean fear, vulnerability and sleeplessness. At night things go bump, the familiar world becomes mysterious and uncanny; owls and bats take wing, foxes prowl.
With new material delving deeper into all things nocturnal, Overnight is a hymn to nighttime wildlife, travel, dreams and art. Along the way, Dan Richards meets a fascinating array of people who labour while the rest of us sleep, and brings their work into the light.
From night terror chills to the warmth of dawn on the summer solstice, Overnight will change the way you think about the hours after dark.
