It is sadly true that it is not always easy to fall asleep. This gently amusing, highly effective anthology of soporific dullness has been carefully curated to put readers to sleep as quickly as possible. With a pillowy case wrap, stultifying illustrations, and pages of sheep to count, this giftable godsend for the under-rested features dozens of snoozy short texts, including “The Motion of Sand Dunes,” “The Administrative Bureaucracy of the Byzantine Empire,” “White Noise: A Technical Explanation,” and many dozens more— though good luck reading very far on any one evening. Insomniacs will also appreciate “A Staring Contest with Fifty Cats,” “Some Interesting Mathematical Theorems,” “The Dullest Entries from Interesting Diaries,” and other zzzzzzzz.

It’s definitely a read
It’s funny but not too funny it’s definitely boring which was the goal, but you do learn some fascinating mundane things. I love this book and love trying to read it right before bed.

This book is funny, not for real
Very clever and original idea for a book, and once you look at it you can see it’s a humor book. But descriptions of it online and in catalogs make it sound as if it’s really written by sleep experts and could be a genuinely helpful gift for someone who has trouble falling asleep. (Once you take a look at the authors’ credentials, and their lack of first names, you can tell it’s a put-on.)Some aspects of it do seem genuinely designed to help you nod off: there are no color illustrations, no side bars, no eye-catching graphics, and pages of text will be absolutely full, there’s no white space around the text. The fact that it’s padded is probably a great safety precaution, because I have sometimes worried I’d put my eye out with the sharp corner of a book when I fall asleep holding it. This book is not going to hurt if it suddenly drops on your face. But it’s probably too funny to really be a sleep aid.

THIS BOOK WORKS!
I bought this because falling asleep is sometimes hard for a couple of us in the house! I can swear by the fact- it works! It calms your mind, helps you forget the worries, stress and troubles! My child uses it and is miraculously asleep within a short amount of time!! No more melatonin⦠we reach for this book instead! BEST PURCHASE!

Pretty dull, yes, but it’s not Benadryl
Parts of it are actually interesting, and some even humorous. Unfortunately, I did not find myself nodding off while reading it. Catchy title, though, and not a bad concept.

This book is hilarious, got it for my best friend who always lays in bed ruminating all night lol. He actually appreciated the humour of the book, as we are both sorta nerdy. It is expensive, but it is worth it.
