Sleep
“A man who sleeps holds in a circle around him the thread of the hours, the order of the years and worlds. He consults them instinctively as he awakens and reads in a second the point of the earth he occupies, the time that has elapsed until his waking; but their ranks may become confused, may break apart. If, towards morning, after some sleeplessness, sleep overtakes him while he is reading, in a posture too different from the one in which he usually sleeps, the mere raising of his arm is enough to stop the sun and make it retreat, and in the first minute of his awakening, he will no longer know the time, he will think he has only just gone to bed.”
Marcel Proust, In Search of Lost Time
