Avoid hitting the snooze button. That’s just training you to oversleep.

We are asleep. Our Life is a dream. But we wake up sometimes, just enough to know that we are dreaming.

Nothing makes us so sleepy as the bell of our alarm clock.

When we are asleep in this world, we are awake in another.

Most of us all walk around as if we're sleepwalking. We really don't experience the world fully, because we're half-asleep, doing things we automatically think we have to do.

Those who have compared our life to a dream were right... We are sleeping awake, and waking asleep.

When opportunity knocks, We are either out or sleeping in.

Good befalls us while we sleep, sometimes.

No night is long enough for us to dream twice.

Are you sure That we are awake? It seems to me That yet we sleep, we dream

Blessed are the sleepy ones: for they shall soon nod off.

We haven't the time to take our time.

But think that we Are but turned aside to sleep.

We live our lives, do whatever we do, and then we sleep. It's as simple and ordinary as that. A few jump out windows, or drown themselves, or take pills; more die by accident; and most of us are slowly devoured by some disease, or, if we're very fortunate, by time itself. There's just this for consolation: an hour here or there when our lives seem, against all odds & expectations, to burst open & give us everything we've ever imagined, though everyone but children (and perhaps even they) know these hours will inevitably be followed by others, far darker and more difficult. Still, we cherish the city, the morning, we hope, more than anything for more. Heaven only knows why we love it so.
