Sleep Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Sleep

1.
Shake off this downy sleep, death's counterfeit, and look on death itself.
William Shakespeare

2.
Not being able to sleep is terrible. You have the misery of having partied all night... without the satisfaction.
Lynn Johnston

3.
Sleep is when all the unsorted stuff comes flying out as from a dustbin upset in a high wind.
Golding, William

4.
The repose of sleep refreshes only the body. It rarely sets the soul at rest. The repose of the night does not belong to us. It is not the possession of our being. Sleep opens within us an inn for phantoms. In the morning we must sweep out the shadows.
Bachelard, Gaston

5.
No matter what time it is, wake me, even if it's in the middle of a Cabinet meeting.
Reagan, Ronald

6.
He that sleeps feels not the tooth-ache.
William Shakespeare

7.
Sleep hath its own world, and a wide realm of wild reality. And dreams in their development have breath, and tears, and tortures, and the touch of joy.
Byron, Lord

8.
There is between sleep and us something like a pact, a treaty with no secret clauses, and according to this convention it is agreed that, far from being a dangerous, bewitching force, sleep will become domesticated and serve as an instrument of our power to act. We surrender to sleep, but in the way that the master entrusts himself to the slave who serves him.
Blanchot, Maurice

9.
O sleep, thou ape of death, lie dull upon her and be her sense but as a monument, thus in a chapel lying.
William Shakespeare

10.
[Sleep is] the golden chain that ties health and our bodies together.
Thomas Dekker

11.
It is better to sleep on things beforehand than lie awake about them afterward.
Baltasar Gracian

12.
Now blessings light on him that first invented this same sleep: it covers a man all over, thoughts and all, like a cloak; 'Tis meat for the hungry, drink for the thirsty, heat for the cold, and cold for the hot. 'Tis the current coin that purchases all the pleasures of the world cheap; and the balance that sets the king and the shepherd, the fool and the wise-man even. There is only one thing that I dislike in sleep; 'Tis that it resembles death; there's very little difference between a man in his first sleep, and a man in his last sleep.
Cervantes, Miguel De

13.
There is a time for many words, and there is also a time for sleep.
Homer

14.
O sleep, O gentle sleep, nature's soft nurse, how have I frighted thee, that thou no more wilt weigh my eyelids down, and steep my senses in forgetfulness.
William Shakespeare

15.
Death's brother, Sleep.
Virgil

16.
Even sleepers are workers and collaborators on what goes on in the universe.
Heraclitus

17.
I divide my time as follows: half the time I sleep, the other half I dream. I never dream when I sleep, for that would be a pity, for sleeping is the highest accomplishment of genius.
Kierkegaard, SĀ°ren

18.
Care keeps his watch in every old man's eye, And where care lodges, sleep will never lie; But where unbruised youth with unstuff'd brain Doth couch his limbs, there golden sleep doth reign.
William Shakespeare

19.
Six hours for a man, seven for a woman, and eight for a fool.
Proverb, English

20.
He who sleeps half a day has won half a life.
Kraus, Karl

21.
To achieve the impossible dream, try going to sleep.
Joan Klempner

22.
Come Sleep! Oh Sleep, the certain knot of peace, the baiting-place of wit, the balm of woe, the poor man's wealth, the prisoner's release, the indifferent judge between the high and low.
Sidney, Sir Philip

23.
When I woke up this morning my girlfriend asked me,'Did you sleep good?'I said'No, I made a few mistakes.'
Steven Wright

24.
Laugh and the world laughs with you, snore and you sleep alone.
Anthony Burgess

25.
We term sleep a death by which we may be literally said to die daily; in fine, so like death, I dare not trust it without my prayers.
Browne, Sir Thomas

26.
Sleep, that sometimes shuts up sorrow's eye, steal me awhile from mine own company.
William Shakespeare

27.
Oh sleep! It is a gentle thing, Beloved from pole to pole.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

28.
I have never taken any exercise except sleeping and resting.
Mark Twain

29.
I don't wake up for less than $10,000 a day.
Evangelista, Linda

30.
People who say they sleep like a baby usually don't have one.
Leo J. Burke

31.
If you can't sleep, then get up and do something instead of lying there and worrying. It's the worry that gets you, not the loss of sleep.
Dale Carnegie

32.
And if tonight my soul may find her peace in sleep, and sink in good oblivion, and in the morning wake like a new-opened flower then I have been dipped again in God, and new-created.
Lawrence, D. H.

33.
We are not hypocrites in our sleep.
Hazlitt, William

34.
Methought I heard a voice cry, "Sleep no more! Macbeth does murder sleep!"- the innocent sleep.
William Shakespeare

35.
The first moments of sleep are an image of death; a hazy torpor grips our thoughts and it becomes impossible for us to determine the exact instant when the I, under another form, continues the task of existence.
Nerval, Gerard De

36.
Sleep demands of us a guilty immunity. There is not one of us who, given an eternal incognito, a thumbprint nowhere set against our souls, would not commit rape, murder and all abominations.
Barnes, Djuna

37.
A great perturbation in nature, to receive at once the benefit of sleep and do the effects of watching!
William Shakespeare

38.
Sleep, that deplorable curtailment of the joy of life.
Woolf, Virginia

39.
I guess staying up late is good preparation for sweet dreams.
Takayuki Ikkaku, Arisa Hosaka and Toshihiro Kawabata

40.
All men whilst they are awake are in one common world: but each of them, when he is asleep, is in a world of his own.
Plutarch

41.
Sleep is a reward for some, a punishment for others. For all, it is a sanction.
Lautreamont, Isidore Ducasse, Comte De

42.
Sleep that knits up the ravell'd sleave of care, the death of each day's life, sore labour's bath, balm of hurt minds, great nature's second course, chief nourisher in life's feast.
William Shakespeare
