I’m yawning, writing this article. (Has anyone put together a montage of yawns to show to insomniacs?) These books about sleep (and many more) are available to borrow for free from the Internet Archive.
Note 9-15-24: The Internet Archive recently lost a lawsuit brought against it by major publishers, and thus had to remove hundreds of thousands of books from its library. Some of these links thus may not work. We’ll update the page as soon as we can.
