“The recycle rate of a human being is around sixteen hours. After sixteen hours of being awake, the brain begins to fail.”
Matthew Walker, Why We Sleep: The New Science of Sleep and Dreams

Terry Pratchett

Terry Pratchett, Hogfather

Terry Pratchett
“OH, THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING IN THE STOCKING THAT MAKES A NOISE, said Death. OTHERWISE, WHAT IS 4:30 A.M. FOR?”
