Arianna Huffington’s new book, “The Sleep Revolution: Transforming Your Life, One Night at a Time” (Harmony), is a call to bed, reports The New York Times.

“I want to rekindle our romance with sleep,” said Ms. Huffington, 65, in a lullaby voice as soothing as her floral perfume. “It’s a central part of life and a gateway to our dreams.”

If sleep is a gateway to her dreams, then her bedroom is the mother ship. It is one of four in a vast apartment she transformed a few years ago with the help of the designer Steven Gambrel.

“It was a minimalist loft,” she said. “But I wanted something that felt more lived-in and European.”
