So here it is, the last sleep ... well actually not ... it's all the other 7,645 sleeps. Well a nod to them at least. Thanks so much for listening and I hope some of these reflections might have helped you contemplate the beauty and adventure of sleep. What's the best sleep you've ever had?

The cat (who I don't get on with) seems to have no trouble sleeping. I’m jealous.

Sleeping in the library, when you know you can't.

I've never seen a ghost - except maybe once. This is a haunted sleep deep in rural Poland.

Insomnia is not always all bad. This one is about the intoxicating creativity of insomnia. Well sort of.

The first sleep after a daughter is born.

I visited the Arctic to find out about the Norwegian teachers' protest in 1942. It was Midwinter and the snowy days are haunted by darkness and sleep. (If you want to find out more about the protest and the brave action of these teachers, here's a link https://theteachersprotest.com.)

Cycling north through Europe and Scandinavia the days get so long that the nights disappear. Arriving in the Arctic for midsummer's eve I watch the sun never set and the dawn never break.

An uneasy campsite rest the night before an anti-nuclear protest.

Not enough time for sleeping. Too much work to do. Work through the night. That’ll sort it.
