Really interesting piece about how sleep has changed over the centuries. You might be interested to know though that the archive image of a ‘man sleeping’ is actually an image of an oil painting called the Death of Chatterton by Henry Wallis (the poet Chatterton had poisoned himself with arsenic in 1770).

Yikes! Nice catch Lizzie. Luckily, this topic has yet to make it to print, so I will change the hero for that. Thanks for being a good art historian.
