Cayce

Brunton
"What is ordinarily known during deep sleep is the veil of ignorance which covers the Real. That is, the knowing faculty, the awareness is still present, but caught in the ignorance, the veiling, and knowing nothing else. The sage, however, carries into sleep the awareness he had in wakefulness. He may let it dim down to a glimmer, but it is always there." Brunton (25-2.180)


Dale Carnegie
"If you can't sleep, then get up and do something instead of lying there and worrying. It's the worry that gets you, not the loss of sleep." Dale Carnegie


4 Quotes By Nikola Tesla Regarding Sleep
1. “A man receives a certain term of life; so many hours to pass on this earth–I mean hours when he ls alive, awake; I do not count the hours when he is sleeping; I do not believe they are, strictly speaking, included in his term of life. When a man really lives he is dying hour by hour, but when he sleeps he is accumulating vital forces which will make him go on living. In other words, in measuring out our dole of hours to each one of us, the great timekeeper stops his count while we are sleeping. Therefore, the longer a man sleeps the longer he will remain on earth. Nearly all long-lived people have been great sleepers. When De Lesseps was on the ocean he would sleep twenty hours on a stretch. Gladstone is a great sleeper, and averages twelve hours a day. I can believe that a man who would learn to sleep eighteen hours a day might live 200 years.“ –NT
(“Tesla On Long Life And Sleep.” By Elmer Willyoung. Electrical Engineer, New York, February 24, 1897.)
2. “I do not sleep well. My mind will not let me. It is going night and day. There is no more tyrannical thing than a mind that is accustomed to thought. It really seems to resent me falling asleep. It pounds for attention until I wake up again.“–NT
(“Tesla Predicts New Source of Power In Year.” New York Herald Tribune. July 9, 1933.)
3. “My sleeplessness does not worry me. Sometimes I doze for an hour or so. Occasionally, however, once in a few months, I may sleep for four or five hours. Then I awaken virtually charged with energy, like a battery. Nothing can stop me after such a night. I feel great strength then. There is no doubt about it but that sleep is a restorer, a vitalizer, that it increases energy. But on the other hand, I do not think it is essential to one’s well-being, particularly if one is habitually a poor sleeper.”–NT
(“Tremendous New Power Soon To Be Released.” Charleston Daily Mail, Charleston, West Virginia, Page 40. September 10, 1933.)
4. “I sleep about one and one-half hours a night. I think that is enough for any man. When I was young I needed more sleep. But age doesn’t require so much. There are so many things to do I do not want to spend time sleeping needlessly. In my family all were poor sleepers. Time spent in sleep is lost time, we always felt.”‐NT
(“Dr. Visions the End of Aircraft in War.” Every Week Magazine, Oct. 21, 1934.)
