Sleep Demons

“A lovely weave of memory and science, great characters and compassionate humor” from the author of Sweat: A History of Exercise (Anne Lamott). We often think of sleep as mere stasis, a pause button we press at the end of each day. Yet sleep is full of untold mysteries—eluding us when we seek it too fervently, throwing us into surreal dream worlds when we don’t, sometimes even possessing our bodies so that they walk and talk without our conscious volition. Delving into the mysteries of his own sleep patterns, Bill Hayes marvels, “I have come to see that sleep itself tells a story.” An acclaimed journalist and memoirist—and partner of the late neurologist Oliver Sacks—Hayes has been plagued by insomnia his entire life. The science and mythology of sleep and sleeplessness form the backbone to Hayes’s narrative of his personal battles with sleep and how they colored his waking life, as he threads stories of fugitive sleep through memories of growing up in the closet, coming out to his Irish Catholic family, watching his friends fall ill during the early years of the AIDS crisis in San Francisco, and finding a lover. An erudite blend of science and personal narrative, Sleep Demons offers a poignant introduction to the topics for which Hayes has since become famous, including art, eros, city life, the history of medical science, and queer identity. “This intimate and beautifully written book brings scientific research alive in a heartfelt and deeply personal narrative.” —The Guardian “Memoir, history, and science come together and apart again in a book that reads very much like a dream.” —Out magazine

Powerful, nasty, and sometimes even deadly, demons are the very face of evil. Stories of these beingsÃ'-and the terror and ruin they inevitably bring-Ã'have existed in nearly all eras and all cultures. Despite these cautionary tales, some people seek contact with demons out of curiosity or a desire for personal gain. Others claim to have been victimized or even possessed by demons through no fault of their own. It seems that demonic encounters-Ã'or at least the idea of them-Ã'are just as common today as they were in ages long past.

Sleep paralysis... It has long been experienced and yet not understood. Science tells us that it is nothing more than our bodies not waking up when our minds do. Experience makes us wonder if it is something more. The demon sitting on your chest, the old hag, incubus, succubus... They really are all the same thing. The feeling that something else is in the room with you. The ability to see a dark shadow next to you or above you but the inability to do anything about it because everything except your eyes is paralyzed. The fear that comes with wanting to scream out for help but having no voice to do so is indescribable. There truly is nothing as terrifying as sleep paralysis and sadly few people talk about it for fear of being labeled as crazy. Having suffered from sleep paralysis since the age of 7 I was determined to find relief. After years of struggling, fearing sleep, forcing myself to stay awake, and trying to learn about sleep paralysis I was able to end my struggle. I want to help people to feel free to speak about their experiences but more than anything I hope that someone can learn from my experience and use what I have gone through to stop the sleep paralysis that they are suffering from. Today, I am free from the demon of sleep paralysis and I believe that you can be as well.
