In this delightful compendium on insomnia, 38 fine Filipino writers -- mostly young, many of them award-winning, a few writing from Montreal, San Francisco, Paris and Singapore, and all insomniacs--describe their struggles with this affliction in hilarious essays, poems and stories. They also divulge the countless remedies for sleep disorders that they have tried, or simply imagined, with wildly different results; and the things they do when all is lost and insomnia has won the night. The rollicking humor is interspersed with carefully researched, indubitably useful, sometimes astounding nuggets of information.
