Sleep Quotes
Rest, routine, and the odd things said half-asleep.
This sleep quotes collection is refreshingly ordinary: sleep-talking material for jokes, a strict weekday sleep schedule, sleeping on the floor of a plane to hear the engine, and the specific comfort of stretching out diagonally across the mattress when no one's there to object. See Day for the other half of the routine.

I wake up naturally and begrudgingly around 6:10 A.M. That's wired in so deeply that I wake up at that time no matter where I am, in any time zone. I wish I could sleep later.

My most prized possession is my pillow. I can't travel or sleep without it. And it's, like, this really thin down pillow that really doesn't do anything, but it's weird: if I don't have it, I'm constantly thinking about not having it.

Some astronauts sleep in sort of beds - compartments that you can open up and crawl into and then close up, almost like a little bedroom.
