ABSTRACT
The job of this conclusion, in many ways, is already done thanks to the conclusions drawn at the end of each chapter. Rather than restate or repackage them again, therefore, I will take these conclusions as read and focus instead on some remaining questions or meta-themes as a way of drawing this book to a fitting close and of flagging the challenges ahead. To conclude, indeed, may be somewhat premature or misleading, given we are only now just beginning to grapple with this complex and challenging topic following years of oversight or neglect within sociology. This, to repeat, is more than an irony, given that approximately a third of our lives is spent asleep, thereby leaving the sociological task of understanding our lives only two-thirds complete.
