A New Year's Resolution

Jarvis Cocker explores the human condition after dark. He's a troubled sleeper and his New Year's resolution is to attain the perfect night's sleep. How will he get on?

Jarvis Cocker continues his nocturnal exploration of the human condition. He often lies awake at night trying, unsuccessfully, to nod off. But, not one to give up, his New Year's resolution is to crack this habit and attain the perfect night's sleep. His restless search leads him to fellow insomniac Marina Benjamin, sleep coach Max Kirsten, Greek goddesses and a cave where night meets day and peace may possibly reside.
