"Qui dort dîne" is a French proverb meaning that sleeping allows one to forget hunger, essentially stating that sleeping replaces a meal. It implies that if you are too tired to eat or have nothing to eat, sleeping is a productive alternative. It is often used to describe bypassing a meal for rest.
