In this book, best-selling author Arch Hart explores why sleep is so important, what happens when family members are chronically sleep deprived, and how families can start developing healthy sleep habits.

Moon's Soft Beams

Now 'mid shadows deep
Falls blessed sleep,
Like dew from the summer sky;
And the whole earth dreams,
In the moon's soft beams,
While night breathes a lullaby.

The Mind at Night: The New Science of How and Why We Dream

Why do we remember only a fraction of our dreams?
Why are dreams usually accompanied by intense emotions?
Can dreams truly spark creative thought or help solve problems?
Are the universal dream interpretations of Freud and Jung valid?
Accessible and engaging, The Mind at Night shines a bright light on our nocturnal journeys and tells us what the sleeping mind reveals about our waking hours.

Now the Day is Over

Stay awake, don't rest your head

Don't lie down upon your bed

While the moon drifts in the skies

Stay awake, don't close your eyes
Though the world is fast asleep

Though your pillow's soft and deep

You're not sleepy as you seem

Stay awake, don't nod and dream

Stay awake, don't nod and dream

~ Stay Awake by The Innocence Mission
