Poetry and SleepHere is a compilation of more than 130 poems/lullabies/songs related to sleep. The poems cover a large variety of topics such as Narcolepsy, Parasomnia, Insomnia, Dreams and Sleep Rituals. Another topic covered in the section “Hypnos and Thanatos” is the relation or similarity of sleep to death. This is also a common image that is not only used in literature, but in art and music. This stems from Greek Mythology and the idea that the personification of sleep, Hypnos, is the twin brother to Thanatos, the personification of death. We hope you enjoy these poems.
