Rabbits are crepuscular

Lena Dunham · May 26, 2026

Rabbits are crepuscular, meaning they are most active at dawn and dusk — which explains why Lena's rabbits repeatedly land on her face during the night.

Lena's Sleep Issues, Bedtime Rituals, and Crepuscular Rabbits

At 30:00 · chapter starts 28:40

Amy steers the conversation to Lena's sleep, which she says is well documented in Famesick. Lena traces her difficulties to a congenital condition shared by her father, mother, and brother: from early childhood, sleep and death became linked in her mind, triggering anxiety as early as 3 PM each day — sock negotiations, requests for tomorrow's schedule to look forward to, and elaborate rituals before her father could leave the room. Amy jokes about arriving in a nurse's uniform to sleep-train her. In the present day, the chaos continues: a bed loaded with books, multiple light sources, animals scooching around, and the decisive detail — rabbits, being crepuscular, hurl themselves at Lena's face precisely at dawn and dusk.
