[NT 51398] Summary:	Why and how�has sleep become�increasingly�politicized in contemporary society? Is�a�politics of sleep either possible or desirable? What light does sleep shed on the governance�of bodies�and the management of everyday/night life? These�are�some of the�questions this�timely and topical�book addresses�in a rich and�fascinating account of the politics of�sleep in the�late modern age. Sleep�is not�simply a political�matter, �it is also�increasingly politicized, from the bedroom to the boardroom, the classroom to the clinic, the laboratory to the law courts, even the military battlefield.�In an increasingly�time-squeezed�era, �the future�of sleep�becomes increasingly�contested or uncertain: something to be defended, �downsized�or even�perhaps done away with altogether. The�Politics of Sleep is a must read for�anyone concerned�with that�vital third�of their life�spent asleep�and the�manner in which�this seemingly�most personal�and�private�of acts is�becoming ever�more politicised�in�contemporary�society as a problem for us all.
