And, yet, it is another world, full of beauty and possibility, too.<br><br>After the sun goes down, insomnia and sleep paralysis do threaten. But some have always walked the nocturnal landscapes, with more or less confidence. Others have worked, night shifts and hidden night work: nurses, security guards, sex workers. And some have found solace in the darkness, from queer rave culture to religious pre-dawn traditions.<br><br>From dusk through to day, Arifa Akbar elegantly explores how the night shapes our bodies, minds and cultures.
