Anne Morrow Lindbergh
For sleep, one needs endless depths of blackness to sink into; daylight is too shallow, it will not cover one.
|
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Perhaps I am a bear, or some hibernating animal underneath, for the instinct to be half asleep all winter is so strong in me.

Better to get up late and be wide awake than to get up early and be asleep all day.

Blessed is the person who is too busy to worry in the daytime and too sleepy to worry at night.
|
Arthur Schopenhauer
Sleep is the interest we have to pay on the capital which is called in at death; and the higher the rate of interest and the more regularly it is paid, the further the date of redemption is postponed.

Nothing cures insomnia like the realization that it's time to get up.

There is no hope for a civilization which starts each day to the sound of an alarm clock.

Bible
The sleep of a labouring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.
|
Bible
Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh: For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.
|
Bible
It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.

Bible
I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety.

Brian W. Aldiss
It's at night, when perhaps we should be dreaming, that the mind is most clear, that we are most able to hold all our life in the palm of our skull. I don't know if anyone has ever pointed out that great attraction of insomnia before, but it is so; the night seems to release a little more of our vast backward inheritance of instincts and feelings; as with the dawn, a little honey is allowed to ooze between the lips of the sandwich, a little of the stuff of dreams to drip into the waking mind. I wish I believed, as J. B. Priestley did, that consciousness continues after disembodiment or death, not forever, but for a long while. Three score years and ten is such a stingy ration of time, when there is so much time around. Perhaps that's why some of us are insomniacs; night is so precious that it would be pusillanimous to sleep all through it! A bad night is not always a bad thing.

Calvin
It's a cruel season that makes you get ready for bed while it's light out.

Carrie Snow
No day is so bad it can't be fixed with a nap.
