Eyes wide open. I was standing at an open window, staring at the dizzying curve of Riverside Drive, five floors below. I’d stopped, somehow, poised, about to jump.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGrowing up the good girl in an Irish American family full of drinkers and terrible sleepers, Kathleen Frazier was twelve when her seemingly innocent sleepwalking turned dangerous. Over the next few years, she was a popular A+ student by day, the star of her high school musical. At night, she both longed for and dreaded sleep.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrazier moved to Manhattan in the 1980s, hoping for a life in the theater but getting a run of sleepwalking performances instead. Efforts to abate her malady with drinking failed miserably. She became promiscuous, looking for nighttime companionship. Could a bed partner save her from flinging herself down a flight of stairs or out an open window? Exhaustion stalked her, and rest and love were seemingly out of reach.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the journey Frazier illuminates in her intimate memoir. While highlighting her quest to beat her sleep terrors and insomnia, this is ultimately a story of health, hope, and redemption.","brand":"Skyhorse Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47157617328368,"sku":"9781510700703","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781510700703_p0.jpg?v=1763722301","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781510700703","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
