"We spend a third of our lives sleeping," and for me it is essential that third . Articulates the activities throughout the day, and even good humor.
the dark bursts creativity, but also the worst nightmares. One night in 1713, the violinist Giuseppe Tartini dreamed of a pact with the devil, just for fun, gave him his violin and the devil played the most exciting and complex melody that had ever heard. He woke up and got the violin tried to recreate it, then years passed and failed in an attempt to recapture the memory of a night. For Goya the darkness meant the sleep of reason and come to life by the human mind of fearsome monsters.
Before you slip into unconsciousness .. sang the Doors, but that strange state where you fall in the evening, you can really call unconsciousness? And yet, you can live without sleep? In the fifties the New York disc jockey Peter Tripp has defied every law of nature, and continuing to lead his radio program, broke all records of consecutive wakefulness: 201 hours. 8 days and a half. It seems that the state of hallucination caused by the prolonged lack of sleep had led to a growing paranoia and aggression, so that it is considered that the slope descending from the socket after his career is also due to side effects of that experiment.
As you can see the Wellcome Collection, this question has re-emerged in every moment of human history and has emerged as a fundamental question in the last hundred years. The myth of male who does not need as fellow human beings seems to comes up at different times during the twentieth century. A poster of the thirties, the Weimar Republic shows a sleeping man, tormented by a devil green, angry, the tip of the finger and the other vehemently indicates the mountain of work to do. Another advertising image output in the March 1923 "Science and Invention," less violent but still disturbing, it shows an editor sitting comfortably on an office chair, surrounded by a bundle of electric current and with a tube to hand that at first glance looked like a cigarette. A great clock strikes three in the morning. Rightly charged with electricity and proper oxygenation of the good editor can easily work all night.
I smiled as I looked at the cover of this journal were thinking how naive the men of the twenties. Then I went home and I opened the newspaper online: Berlusconi after a night dedicated to defining the listings says "I did not touch the bed and climbed on stage at the Pala Lido to tear, in a fit of omnipotence, the program of the Democratic Party. Remember too closely said "the captain never sleeps." This myth of the extraordinarily gifted, he can win the fight that all the other men lost every-day needs of the sleep-continues to be put back in his, now we can say, embarrassing naivete. Before acting recklessly would be better to sleep on it. The night brings counsel, it seems.
Not to miss: sleeping and dreaming of Londoners during the bombing of London during World War II sought refuge between the tracks of the subway, closed for the emergency, including Aldwich and Holborn.
