Matthew Walker
“After only a few weeks of treatment, his patients would return to the clinic and, with puzzled amazement, say things like, “Doc, it’s the strangest thing, my dreams don’t have those flashback nightmares anymore. I feel better, less scared to fall asleep at night.” It turns out that the drug prazosin, which Raskind was prescribing simply to lower blood pressure, also has the fortuitous side effect of suppressing noradrenaline in the brain.”
Matthew Walker, Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams

Daniel Nayeri
“Dear reader, you have to understand the point of all these stories. What they add up to. Schererazade was trying to make the king human again. She made him love life by showing him all of it, the funny parts about poop, the dangerous parts with demons, even the boring parts about what makes marriages last.

Little by little, he began to feel the joy and sadness of others.

He became less immune, less numb, because of the stories.”
Daniel Nayeri, Everything Sad Is Untrue
