The Sleep Saboteurs: Why Staying Up Late Is Bringing Us Down

“I don’t put off going to bed, more going to sleep,” says Shirley , 37, a researcher and administrator from South Wales. “I should go to sleep well before midnight to start work at 8 or 9 the following day. But I usually settle down into bed with the light off about 1am. My current sleep time is 3 or 4am.” Much is written about the importance of getting a good night’s sleep, having a consistent bedtime and setting a morning alarm. Science tells us regular sleep patterns lead to longer lives, lower our chance of developing Alzheimer’s, and, anecdotally, we know that it makes us feel better. So why do so many of us sabotage our sleep by staying up later than we should?

New Statesman digital subscriptions have grown by 75 per cent in a single year

New Statesman digital subscriptions have grown by 75 per cent in a single year The The New Statesman grew its paid-for digital subscriptions by 75 per cent in 2020, part of a longer-term increase in the brand’s readership that has led to 77 per cent revenue growth from subscriptions over three years. Print subscriptions also rose by 12 per cent last year, but the coronavirus pandemic adversely affected news-stand sales. In a survey conducted for the Reuters Institute’s Digital News Report 2020, 64 per cent of readers in the UK cited “distinctive journalism” as their primary reason for subscribing to any publication, and 35 per cent of those readers said that they subscribe for particular writers they like. This agrees with what our readers tell us about why they subscribe: for Stephen Bush, Anoosh Chakelian, Jeremy Cliffe, Emily Tamkin, Sarah Manavis and Ailbhe Rea, among many others.   

Letter of the week: What Mark Fisher knew

Lola Seaton’s piece on Mark Fisher (The Critics,  22 January) was wonderfully thorough and moving. It managed to articulate, much like Fisher did, the ineffable sense of loss that typifies this late strain of capitalism. This was heightened by Seaton’s poignant references to the human loss that Fisher’s friends expressed at his memorial. With such glowing appraisals of his affecting work and deep sense of purpose, it is little wonder that there is clamour for more of his writing among such a lost generation. I can’t help but feel galvanised when I read Fisher’s work – Seaton’s piece evoked similar feelings, and not merely through association. I hope that in the aftermath of this collective crisis we can mobilise some of the consciousness we’ve lost and so desperately need. The alternative – a return to an acquiescent “normality” – risks setting us back yet another generation, and  yet another crisis.

The curious legend of the lockdown house party

The curious legend of the lockdown house party By announcing new £800 fines for people attending house parties, the government is distracting from the reality of a rule-abiding public. To which I hear you cry from the tinny Spotify-soundtracked solitude of your bedroom: Where are all these house parties? I haven’t been invited to one, let alone enough to commit repeat offences… It’s a good question, and key to what’s behind this addition to the miserable and ever-lengthening shopping list that is our coronavirus regulations. This idea of house parties has become a preoccupation of ministers and police chiefs – a symbol of an unruly public conjured up every time the pandemic is looking particularly bleak (see my colleage Ailbhe Rea on the recent “compliance week”, for example).
