Would everyone be able to pick a book/article that deals with politics and sleep and have a brief look through online, and perhaps post some notes? I'm guessing Aldo could do Crary's 24/7 as he did an essay on it, and Anna 'in praise of idleness' as she recommended it? This was just from a quick Google search, so there might even be others. This article has a pretty comprehensive overview:

and then there's...
Alexei Penzin, Rex Exsomnis: Sleep and Subjectivity in Capitalist Modernityalso, a video lecture of his : http://vimeo.com/27021762
Matthew J. Wolf-Meyer, The Slumbering Masses. Sleep, Medicine, and Modern American Life
Nicole Christina Eugene, Potent Sleep: The Cultural Politics of Sleep
Simon J. Williams, The Politics of Sleep: Governing (Un)consciousness in the Late Modern Age
E. P. Thompson, Time, Work-Discipline, and Industrial Capitalism
Alan Derickson, Dangerously Sleepy: Overworked Americans and the Cult of Manly Wakefulness
Yeah, can do :)
