Sleep is no longer a healing bath, a recuperation of vital forces, but an oblivion, a nightly brush with annihilation.

Finally, both of them fell asleep together with their limbs entwined in the eternal position of a lover's embrace.

I spent many a charming evening talking and playing with Albertine, but none so sweet as when I was watching her sleep.

Lie you easy, dream you light,And sleep you fast for aye;And luckier may you find the nightThan ever you found the day.

...an irresistible sleep fell deeply on his eyes, the sweetest, soundest oblivion, still as the sleep of death itself...

Going to bed at sunrise, I find a blindfold helps me sleep. Also, I like it when my kidnappers put pillows in the trunk.

I’m not good at talking. Can’t I just nod my way through a conversation? It’s better than nodding off.

I spread eggshells all over my room, so anyone who tries to get close when I sleep will know what they're walking on

I work for the nod syndicate. It’s a sleepy job. If I’m caught not sleeping on the job, I’ll get fired.

A person who has not done one half his day's work by ten o'clock, runs a chance of leaving the other half undone.

Sleep makes the silence and the terrible fear go by more quickly, helps pass the time, since it's impossible to kill.

I decided to stay in bed until noon. Maybe by then half the world would be dead and it would only be half as hard to take.

The man who begins to go to bed forty minutes before he opens his bedroom door is bored; that is to say, he is not living.

My only relief is to sleep. When I'm sleeping, I'm not sad, I'm not angry, I'm not lonely, I'm nothing.

I had a dream about you last night. The champagne was non-alcoholic. You didn't notice, and laughed at my jokes anyway.
