Her shy roommate, Mei, doesn’t bother to wake her.
Indeed, there is one question that is never posed during these commonplace conversations: What if you got too much sleep? This is what Karen Thompson Walker explores in her inventive, well-crafted novel “The Dreamers.” The story opens innocently enough: A freshman at Santa Lora College, in a small town about 70 miles from Los Angeles, doesn’t stir one morning after a night out. Which sleep aids, natural remedies or strategies do you resort to during the lonely hours of the night? What about pre-slumber rituals? Oh, you’re a new parent, good luck. Eavesdrop at any dinner party, and talk of sleep - and the lack thereof - abounds.
