The study of how sleep—or the lack thereof—shapes human societies, relationships, and cultural norms. It examines the unspoken rules of who gets to sleep in (bosses, babies) and who has to wake up early (everyone else). It explores the sociology of the shared bed, the politics of the snooze button, and the economic impact of a nation running on caffeine and spite. It asks the big questions, like: Is "sleeping on it" really a decision-making tool, or just a way to postpone responsibility until you've had coffee?
