New Years Eve Party, Wakona Country Club
Des Moines, IA 12/31/07

TRANSCRIPT:
JANET HUCKABEE: And I want to start by telling you something very simple, I had the opportunity on Thanksgiving Day to watch a movie, I was watching it all by myself, and it was "The Astronaut Farmer," I don't know if you've seen it or not but there was one line in that movie that summed up my whole life and the campaign and my family, my kids, everything, right at that moment. And the line was very simple. Billy Bob Thornton was the astronaut farmer, he was sitting on the couch with his father in law. And his father in law said these words, he said, "I couldn't get my family to eat together and you have your family dreaming together." And that's what we're doing. We're living the American dream. My family is dreaming together and we are doing something that has been an incredible experience and we couldn't've done it without you.

"Insomniac" author Gayle Greene discusses the many negative mental and physiological effects of sleep deprivation.

-----

Gayle Greene discusses her book Insomniac.

Part memoir, part scientific reportage and analysis, a book for all of us who wish to know more about sleep, the condition which consumes one third of our lives. Greene - a member of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the patient representative on the board of the American Insomnia Association - addresses head on the neglect of this disorder that affects millions.

Herself an insomniac, she weaves together the story of her personal journey through a lifetime of sleepless nights; the experiences of other insomniacs; an in-depth study of sleep science and current research; and a detailed examination of what can be done to help those afflicted. You might call her work, as she notes, "a field guide to insomnia".

Billy Collins writes, "The good news is that Greene's book is all you ever need to read on the subject." Green is a professor of literature and women's studies at Scripps College - Cody's Books

Gayle Green has published dozens of articles in scholarly journals such as Signs, Contemporary Literature, and Renaissance Drama, many of which have been reprinted in anthologies (e.g., Blackwell¹s Shakespeare: An Anthology of Criticism and Theory, 1945-2000,2004). She's also published in more popular venues such as Ms Magazine, The Nation, The Women's Review of Books, and In These Times.
She's a member of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, a professional medical society for researchers and clinicians, and a board member and the patient representative of the American Insomnia Association, an organization within the American Academic of Sleep Medicine.
