I’ve been thinking about some cool things to say about insomnia, which has inspired me to provide a list of my favourite quotes on the matter:
“The best cure for insomnia is to get a lot of sleep”- W.C. Fields.
-No nonsense, logical solution here. If only it were as simple as that.
“Insomnia is my greatest inspiration”-Jon Stewart.
-Many are often inspired by late night procrastinating, and it’s good to see that funny people can get their material in the late hours.
“Sleeping is no mean art: for its sake one must stay awake all day”-Friedrich Nietzsche.
-As always, Nietzsche makes me think, but surely he’s saying here that sleep is almost a reward for staying up all day. If that’s the case, then what about the tortured souls that cannot sleep? They will never get their reward so, sleeping is a mean art.
“Dawn:When men of reason go to bed”- Ambrose Bierce.
-Good to hear that insomniacs are reasonable people.
“If a man had as many ideas during the day as he does when he has insomnia, he’d make a fortune”-Griff Niblack.
-If only this were true.
“The worst thing in the world is to try to sleep and not to”- F. Scott Fitzgerald.
-If only this WEREN’T true. Lying in bed willing yourself to sleep, wasting your time is one of the worst experiences ever!!
A few quotes there to make you think, but here’s one that brightened up my day:
Q: “What do you get when you cross an insomniac, an agnostic and a dyslexic?”
A: “Someone who stays up all night wondering if there is a Dog.”-Groucho Marx
Rambin’ Night Owl
