Book Synopsis

Anders Bortne has a nice life in Oslo. Married to a wonderful woman, with two delightful children, his days are occupied by his creative work. Not all is well though, Anders has been sleepless for sixteen years, and it is taking its toll on his life and his family. No remedy has gone untested: sleeping pills, yoga, herbs, acupuncture, hypnosis, but none has worked.

What do we know about the most important hours of the day? What is the history of sleep, and how is our health affected? Sleepless is a book for everyone who lies awake at night and wonders what to do about it. Anders’s last resort was just across the street.



Trade Review

Flows like a novel. His troubled musings are almost poetic.


Fun... empathic... heartbreaking.

Sleep disturbances have been a feature of the pandemic, and sufferers will find much humorous food for thought in Sleepless by Anders Bortne.
