sleepcartography

/ˌsliːpkɑːˈtɒɡrəfi/nounVerified New

Also in: Schlafkartografie (Deutsch) · sueñocartografía (Español) · sommeilcartographie (Français)

The mapping of one's own sleep — the private atlas of the night, drawn from data and memory.

Sleepcartography charts the known world: the shallow strait before midnight, the deep ocean of the first cycles, the archipelago of the early morning. The map is personal, revised nightly, and its blank regions — the dreams — are marked with the old warning: here the data ends.

Etym. — sleep + cartography — the map-making metaphor for the quantified night; cartography is exactly the discipline of drawing a territory from measurements.
