Description

Explore the complex relationship between Byzantine society and sleep in this scholarly work from Gorgias Press. Part of the Gorgias Studies in Classical and Late Antiquity series, this book examines how sleep and sleep deprivation shaped the lives of people across all ages, sexes, and social classes. Recent historical research suggests that sleep-abstinence was a widespread phenomenon in the Byzantine world, particularly among monastics. This text investigates the institutions, beliefs, practices, and rituals that defined how sleep was understood. It moves beyond simple descriptions of sleep deprivation to look at the cultural and biological aspects of the era. By looking at the myths and morals surrounding rest, this study helps readers understand the Byzantine stance on sleep. It provides a way to assess the effectiveness and aims of ancient attitudes toward this biological phenomenon. This is an essential resource for students and historians interested in the social history and daily life of Late Antiquity.
