Throughout his life Byron was haunted by nightmares, but writing, in particular writing at night, promises catharsis. ‘All convulsions end with me in rhyme; and to solace my midnights, I have scribbled another Turkish story’, Byron writes to his friend Moore after a particularly disturbing episode. Marc Gotthardt traces Byron’s troubled relationship with sleep from early, evasive manoeuvres to a more appreciative stance in his later writing, where Byron goes so far as to link poesy to ‘somnambulism’.
