About the Book

The problem, it turns out, is not sleep - or even the absence of sleep. The problem is the usual way of seeing sleep as a mysterious biological process, subject to disorders that require attention. Such a framework inevitably promotes anxiety when sleep fails to arrive on time. This book offers a return to an earlier era of sleep, before the medical model of our bodies took hold. It rejects everything academic in favour of direct experience. This approach transcends the usual step-by-step program found in conventional self-help books. Instead, quiet reflection on our situation with sleep reveals where we go wrong. Fundamental discoveries are made at the beginning. Readers first explore how the pressure to sleep comes not from any real urgency, but from unnecessary worries about performance the next day. Other possible sources of sleep anxiety are identified, such as an unfounded "duty" to sleep and the way modern life transforms what is a simple experience into an important task on the daily "to do" list. In addition, the various ways one can have a healthy or unhealthy relationship with sleep are examined. At the end of every chapter a list of open-ended questions provide an opportunity to reflect on what you have read and perhaps apply the material to your own life. Each chapter builds upon previous material. Often called "the path which is not any particular path", Zen concerns itself with uncovering how things really are. The revelations in "Zen Sleep" may appear difficult to see at first. But if you really look - the way a Zen Buddhist would look - you can see that insomnia is a manufactured problem. Each moment need not be so different from any other moment, free to unfold naturally and without effort. The journey back to the time before sleep was made problematic requires no prior knowledge of Zen. It only requires patience to see what the words refer to, and trust in your own observations. "Zen Sleep" is merely your compass.
