Doctor Sleep is a 2013 horror novel by Stephen King, serving as the sequel to his 1977 novel 'The Shining'.

Danny, who has suppressed his psychic abilities through alcoholism, eventually finds redemption through Alcoholics Anonymous and uses his powers to comfort dying patients, earning him the nickname 'Doctor Sleep'.

He must protect a young girl named Abra Stone, who possesses even stronger psychic abilities, from the True Knot, a cult that preys on children with 'the shining' to remain immortal.

The novel explores themes of addiction, redemption, and the struggle against supernatural forces.
