The Year of Extraordinary Rest
When I started dating my partner, a gentle-giant Italian beefcake who likes to paint with watercolors and prepare increasingly elaborate pasta dishes, he was horrified by my relationship with sleep. This guy, I quickly came to understand, believes in luxury sleep. As a freelance graphic designer, he often works laborer jobs that require him to use all 6’3” and 250 lbs of himself. Add narcolepsy to the mix, and you’ve got a person who really, really needs his z’s.

But 5 minutes in and other than a sudden urge to take a nap, stuff my mouth with popcorn and aimlessly trawl Facebook Marketplace, I've got nothing! Zip. Zero. Zilch.
