Paul Huebener (he/him) is a professor of English at Athabasca University in Canada. His research focuses on critical sleep studies, critical time studies, and the environmental humanities, particularly in the context of literatures in Canada.

Paul’s newest book, Restless in Sleep Country: Imagination and the Cultural Politics of Sleep, examines cultural representations of sleep in Canada, from mattress commercials and comic books to bedtime story phone apps. By guiding the reader through this imaginative landscape, the book shows how to develop a critical literacy of sleep.
