As the title refers to the land of Nod, the novel takes a look at the after effects of a global event which makes people unable to sleep. We see what happens first hand through Paul's eyes as he is one of the rare Sleepers here who can see what is going on as readers can understand through him as an author himself how society can go from being bustling, non-stop excitement, life, death and fun to being cut short, put to a halt as most of humanity acts zombie-like living with the hope that they can sleep, and crushed by the thought that they, like many others, can't.
