Insomnia by Marina Benjamin

3.0

This is another book where I really needed to read the blurb more thoroughly -- I thought this was going to be a book about the research into insomnia, written by someone who suffers from it and thus tied in her personal experiences. Instead it's... a memoir about insomnia? I'm not sure how to define it -- it's very floaty, very personal, covers a lot of musings and references and thoughts about sleep and sleeplessness. It's pretty enough and pithy and often poetic, but not hugely interesting to me.

I picked this up as one of the shorter books on my tbr list, trying to finish my reading challenge by the end of the year and it was certainly a very quick, easy read.
