The Slumbering Masses: Sleep, Medicine, and Modern American Life - A Quadrant Book
Matthew J. Wolf-Meyer
The Slumbering Masses addresses the phenomenon of sleep and sleeplessness in the U.

Drawing on untapped archival sources and ethnographic research with people who experience and treat sleep abnormalities, Matthew J. Wolf-Meyer analyzes and critiques how sleep and its supposed disorders are understood and treated.
