Quote by Jason Medina

“Mostly everyone in the living room jumped up at the sound of his voice. The words that came out of his mouth did not fully register with most of them. A few were still half asleep and wondering why he decided to appoint himself the position of human alarm clock. Unfortunately, there was no time for subtlety and no time for breakfast.”

“We sleep for one third of our lives. Think about that for a second. Each day, we spend 2/3rds of the day awake and 1/3rd sleeping. Sleeping is a huge part of our lives, but we tend to minimize its importance. To illustrate this, think about your work life for a moment. Like sleep, you will also spend one third of your life working. As individuals and as a society, we talk and think about work about 10x more than we think about sleep. Doesn’t that seem odd?”

“Perhaps because it [sleep] is a passive and largely unconscious process, we consider it somewhat optional as adults. Sleep doesn’t feel productive! But, arguably, it is one of the most important factors for your physical and emotional health. You absolutely cannot expect to make your life better if you are not sleeping well. Sleep is fundamentally important. Let me say it again. If you are not sleeping well, then you will not be healthy. It is as simple as that.”

“Sé que me interesa, en cambio, verla dormir, ver su rostro cuando esté sin conciencia o esté en letargo, conocer su expresión dulce o dura, atormentada o plácida, aniñada o envejecida mientras no piensa en nada o no sabe que piensa, mientras no actúa, mientras no se comporta de manera estudiada, como hacemos todos en uno u otro grado ante cualquier testigo, aunque el testigo no nos importe y sea nuestro propio padre o nuestra mujer o marido. La he visto dormir ya algunas noches, pero no las bastantes para reconocerla en su sueño, en el que por fin a veces dejamos de parecernos a nosotros mismos”

“Kufika hapa nilipofika leo nilijitolea vitu vingi na mambo mengi katika maisha yangu. Niliishi katika uhamisho wa kijamii kwa ajili ya mafanikio. Nilijitolea muda. Nilijitolea usingizi. Nilijitolea starehe. Wakati wengine wakienda baa mimi nilikuwa kazini. Wakati wengine wamelala, mimi nilikuwa macho nikifanya kazi. Wakati wengine wakiangalia vipindi pendwa vya televisheni, mimi nilikuwa nikiangalia vipindi visivyopendeka vya televisheni. Wakati wengine wana muda wa kuchezea, mimi nilikuwa nikiyaendesha maisha yangu kwa ratiba maalumu.”

“Last night, I repeated your name like a mantra before falling asleep. Somehow the simple pleasure of uttering your name, and the added pleasure of hearing your name was heaven for me and I didn’t go to bed until dawn. Isn’t it odd how your name, a single word associated with you, can bring another person such joy that they inflict insomnia upon themselves and call it a blessing?”
