Quotations on Sleep
It is a delicious moment, certainly, that of being well-nestled in bed and feeling that you shall drop gently to sleep. The good is to come, not past; the limbs are tired enough to render the remaining in one posture delightful; the labor of the day is gone.
-Leigh Hunt
Blessings on him who first invented sleep. It covers a man all over, thoughts and all, like a cloak. It is meat for the hungry, drink for the thirsty, heat for the cold, and cold for the hot. It makes the shepherd equal to the monarch, and the fool to the wise.
-Miguel De Cervantes
Men tire themselves in pursuit of rest.
-Laurence Sterne
People who snore always fall asleep first.
-Unknown
Naps are nature's way of reminding you that life is nice -- like a beautiful, softly swinging hammock strung between birth and infinity.
-Peggy Noonan
