O bed! O bed! delicious bed! That heaven upon earth to the weary head. -Thomas Hood

“Now, blessings light on him that first invented sleep!

It covers a man all over, thoughts and all, like a cloak;

it is meat for the hungry,

drink for the thirsty,

heat for the cold,

and cold for the hot.

It is the current coin that purchases all the pleasures of the world

cheap, and the balance that sets the king and the shepherd, the fool

and the wise man, even”.

~Miguel de Cervantes, Don Quixote, 1605
