“I've got a bad case of the 3:00 am guilts - you know, when you lie in bed awake and replay all those things you didn't do right? Because, as we all know, nothing solves insomnia like a nice warm glass of regret, depression and self-loathing.”
― D.D. Barant, Dying Bites

“After a night of insomnia the body gets weaker,
Becomes dear but no one’s — not even your own.”
― Marina Tsvetaeva, My Poems...: Selected Poetry

“It is a special kind of homelessness to be evicted from your dreams.”
― Karen Russell, Sleep Donation

“There are some nights when
sleep plays coy,
aloof and disdainful.
And all the wiles
that I employ to win
its service to my side
are useless as wounded pride,
and much more painful.”
― Maya Angelou
