Sleep: A Bibliography

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:
