Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington Quotes

I like to go to bed early.

The bed is a bundle of paradoxes: we go to it with reluctance, yet we quit it with regret; we make up our minds every night to leave it early, but we make up our bodies every morning to keep it late.

My weekday wake-up time is 7:30, but I love staying in bed longer.

I love sleep; it's my favorite.

Adequate early rest is best...."Early to bed and early to rise" is still good counsel.

For sleep, one needs endless depths of blackness to sink into; daylight is too shallow, it will not cover one.

I always wake up kind of early - well, early for me, which is about 8 A.M.

I love to sleep. I'm an excellent, excellent sleeper.

We rise with the lark and go to bed with the lamb.

Dawn: When men of reason go to bed.

Sleep, that deplorable curtailment of the joy of life.

I wake up as soon as it gets light.

Sleep is for squares.

I wake up around 8 A.M., which isn't too bad at all. I usually try to get to bed at 10 or 10:30. For a while I tried to see how my recovery was with just eight hours of sleep. And sometimes, that can be fine. But I like getting nine or more hours. I feel like I can wake up on my own if I've gotten nine hours.

I need my sleep.

I just tell myself I gotta get up at 8 A.M. I don't even use an alarm clock.

I use a progressive alarm that makes a soft sound at first and then progressively gets louder. But I usually wake on the first sound, so it doesn't disturb my wife. When I used a loud alarm clock, I was more likely to hit it on the head and go back to sleep.

I set my alarm for 7:30 A.M., but it's really hard for me to wake up in the mornings.

When I wake up in the morning, I just go.

If I didn't wake up I'd still be sleeping

I wish it were different, but my body clock wakes me up between 6:30 and 7:30 a.m. I was even talking yesterday about how, if I want to get enough sleep, I have to be in bed at 10. That means I'm totally a grandma.

Sleeping. Turning in turn like planets rotating in their midnight meadow: a touch is enough to let us know we're not alone in the universe, even in sleep.

I think I'll sleep now.
