There's a perception that it\\u2019s always daytime on the internet. What that misses is that it\\u2019s not always the case for us when we go there. We gravitate to different parts of the digital world during the night. We slow down without the bombardment of emails updates and notifications.

We become explorers of soundscapes on meditation apps, we listen to soft, soothing mumblings on podcasts lulling us to sleep. For those digital night owls, it\\u2019s an Alice like experience falling through a labyrinth of interconnected internet rabbit holes discovering subjects you wouldn\\u2019t even have thought about when the sun is up.

In this episode Aleks celebrates 'noctunality' on the internet whether for those seeking sleep or those for whom this is the time to wake up.
