No screens and no light brighter than single-digit candle power after sundown is a pretty good cure for, I suspect, a whole lot of modern cases of sleeplessness.

Light your whole house up brighter than the mirrored hall at Versailles and engage with devices that put entertainments better than a pre-modern emperor could command at the grandest, most expensive carnival he could assemble at your fingertips and sleep becomes elusive.

“The emperor’s having trouble sleeping! We lit up the palace with thousands of candles and invited over the greatest scientists and sages and show persons of all kinds (including the naked variety) and are holding a 24/7 carnival with all those folks just outside his bedroom and we just can’t figure out what might be the problem.” LOL, I mean, maybe there’s other stuff going on too, but I think I know where to start…
