For thirty-one years, Tomas Andersson kept the light burning on Svartholm, a bare rock two hours by boat from the Swedish coast. He was, by the end, the country's last resident lighthouse keeper, and when automation finally made his job unnecessary in 1994, he did something nobody expected: he asked to stay. The authorities, puzzled but sympathetic, let him remain as an unpaid caretaker, and he lived on the island alone until his death in 2011.

His journals, published last year, have become an unlikely bestseller. They record a life ruled by weather and routine — cleaning the lens, measuring the wind, salting fish for winter — but what has captured readers is Andersson's refusal to describe his life as lonely. "People confuse being alone with being abandoned," he wrote in 1998. "I have the sea's company, which is never twice the same, and I know every stone of this island the way other men know their children's faces."

His editor, Karin Lindqvist, believes the journals appeal to readers precisely because their world has disappeared. "We check our phones two hundred times a day and call it staying connected," she says. "Tomas watched one horizon for thirty years and missed nothing. Readers sense he possessed something we have lost, even if they cannot name it."

Hi Elena! Are you free on Sunday? Lisa and I are going to the new shopping centre near the stadium. There's a big sale — some shops have prices 50% down! We want to catch the number 7 bus at ten o'clock from the main square. After shopping we can have pizza at the food court — it's my birthday treat, so I'm paying! Bring a big bag for all your new clothes! Text me back tonight. — Sara

NOTICE TO ALL MEMBERS — RIVERSIDE SPORTS CENTRE

From 1 October, the centre will introduce several changes following the survey completed by more than 400 members this summer. The swimming pool will open an hour earlier on weekdays, at 6 a.m., to serve members who train before work. However, it will close at 8 p.m. instead of 10 p.m., as evening attendance has fallen sharply over the past two years.

The survey also showed strong demand for family activities. As a result, the small gym on the first floor will be converted into a children's play area, and family membership will be reduced by 15 per cent. Members who currently use the first-floor gym should note that all equipment will be moved to the main hall, which will be extended in November. During the building work, which is expected to last three weeks, the main hall will remain open, although some classes may be moved to different rooms or times. Members will receive an updated timetable by email in late September. We apologise for any inconvenience and thank members for their patience while we improve our facilities.

Question: Why will the pool close earlier in the evenings?

Every spring, thousands of students prepare for exams by doing exactly the wrong thing: staying up late with their books. A study carried out at a university in the Netherlands followed 380 first-year students through their end-of-year exams. The researchers compared students' sleep diaries with their results, and the pattern was striking. Students who slept at least seven hours on the nights before their exams scored, on average, 11 per cent higher than those who slept five hours or fewer — a difference large enough to turn a fail into a comfortable pass.

What surprised the researchers most was that extra studying could not make up for lost sleep. Students who reported studying past midnight before an exam performed worse than students who had studied the same total number of hours but stopped earlier, even when the late-night group had covered more material. The explanation, the researchers suggest, lies in how the brain stores information: memories formed during the day are strengthened and organised during deep sleep, so cutting sleep short interrupts the very process that revision depends on.

The team is careful to point out that their study shows a strong link rather than definite proof, since students who sleep well may differ in other ways — they may be less anxious, for example, or simply better organised.

Question: Why do the researchers avoid claiming definite proof?

Hi Tom,

Greetings from Spain! We arrived on Monday after a long journey — the plane was two hours late. Our hotel is small but very clean, and it's only five minutes from the beach. Yesterday we swam in the sea all morning and then ate fish at a little restaurant near the harbour. It was delicious! Tomorrow we're going to visit the old castle on the hill. Mum says it's more than five hundred years old. I'll send you a photo. See you next week!
