“Over the years, putting his [former Australian Greens leader, Bob Brown] anxieties down on paper, and later on iPad, has helped put his sleep worries into context: the absurdity of worrying about the impact of one night without sleep on his performance in the day. On this particular night, 'It made me think about it, about people in the world with much worse situations for whatever reason, who can't sleep', he says. 'And in a way, how absurd, how silly it is that we find ourselves unable to sleep over some immediate discomfort ... [over] anxiety to perform, but that's how it is'.”
