I’ve never slept well, even as a young child. Insomnia and sleeplessness is a theme woven through my life, from as far back as I can remember, to my teen years, to becoming an adult – and at this point it seems unlikely that it’s something that will change. Sleep therefore has become a signifier of the mystical and the precious, the most intimate of acts.
