Despite our advanced digital civilization, Humankind are still organic, natural beasts. We must eat and breathe, we must cut our nails and brush our teeth, and we must sleep. From a very young age, we humans know that sleep is good. Babies and teenagers will sleep twelve hours a day. Yet, somehow, sleep has become a shameful thing. Like farting or balding, sleep has been degraded to a shameful part of biology that must be shunned. We glorify the early-riser, we challenge our co-workers to the Who-Got-Less-Sleep game. But what did we create all these tools and gadgets for if not to live better? Why build computers and robots and self-piloting drones if not to alleviate ourselves of the burden of work? Was leisure not the goal? What was the plan behind Dreaming of a Brighter Future if we’re not allowed to sleep? Shield your eyes from the dawn with Mat and Veronique as we face the repeating curse of Mornings.
