Travis Kelce 'looks old' and is 'wobbling' for the Chiefs - but it has NOTHING to do with Taylor Swift, says ex-NFL scout John Middlekauff When I saw this book at my local bookstore, I knew I had to get it. I was instantly drawn to the cover, and if you're not familiar with the image, it's the The Nightmare by Swedish painter Henry Fuseli. Soldiers suffering from nightmares sparked by PTSD are being encouraged by their doctors and therapists to engage with their nightmares during the daytime, in the hope that doing this will restore a sense of ‘mastery’ to an aspect of their lives that they can’t control.

Get Me Out of Here! jungleSleepwalking as it is currently understood, as something separate from RBD, seems to involve milder delusions that might be following a routine, or oddly, trying to provide assistance. Apart from occasionally doing something somewhat mischievous like hiding objects, my sleepwalks are characteristic of this. In my teenage years, my mum found me on a mission in the middle of the night to deliver a slice of imaginary cake to Gwen Stefani. A few years ago, I woke myself up by switching the light on and loudly announcing to an empty bedroom: “It’s okay, I’ll help you find it.” I'm A Celebrity fans SLAM Sam Thompson for telling Jamie Lynn Spears she is the 'girl who cried wolf' after she broke down in tears AGAIN This week, we’re here with Alice Vernon, a woman long fascinated by what happens to our brains during sleep. Taking that interest one step further led Alice to begin research for her new book, Night Terrors, and that deep dive uncovered centuries worth of literature and analysis, some of it mind boggling. Night Terrors aims to shine a light on the darkest parts of our sleeping lives, and to reassure sufferers from bad dreams that they are not alone.

Ever since Alice Vernon was a child, her nights have been haunted by nightmares of a figure from her adolescence, sinister hallucinations, and episodes of sleepwalking. These are known as ‘parasomnias’– and they’re surprisingly common.Despite being one of those people who drift off with annoying ease, Alice Vernon does not sleep soundly, she sleeps “strangely”. Ever since childhood, she’s been prone to “parasomnias” – sleep disturbances that include nightmares, sleepwalking and ghostly hallucinations. In a discourse fired by lively inquiry and vivid personal anecdote, she looks to art, literature and science to demonstrate the profound effect these eerie and surprisingly common nocturnal states have had on the human imagination. It’s a fascinating debut – just don’t read it at bedtime. Looking for Trouble

Night Terrors, her startling and vivid debut, examines the history of our relationship with bad dreams: how we've tried to make sense of and treat them, from some decidedly odd 'cures' like magical 'mare-stones', to research on how video games might help people rewrite their dreams. Sleep is a hot topic these days. Popular science books promise to uncover why we do it at all, while exploring its importance for a healthy life. Self-help manuals seek to teach the art of sleeping well amidst the stresses of modern life. Wearable devices and mobile apps monitor quality and quantity, nudging users to make adjustments to their bedtime routines. Meanwhile, last summer’s heatwave produced endless variations of top tips for ensuring the right amount of sleep in sweltering temperatures. In the Victorian era, as interest in the mind and consciousness grew, criminal cases involving supposed sleepwalkers were treated with new ideas about culpability. In 1876, a woman experiencing a delusional, sleepwalking state, believed her baby’s hand to be a loaf of bread and cut it off. The baby didn’t survive. During the trial, however, the jury were so convinced that the woman was not in control of herself that a radical verdict was used for the first time: not guilty on grounds of unconsciousness.
