Friedrich Nietzsche on sleep

Blessed are the forgetful: for they get the better even of their blunders.

What is happiness? The feeling that power is growing, that resistance is overcome.

Without music, life would be a mistake.

When I woke up this morning my girlfriend asked me, ‘Did you sleep well?’ I said ‘No, I made a few mistakes.’

It is better to sleep on things beforehand than lie awake about them afterward.

Baltasar Gracián1601–1658

If you can’t sleep, then get up and do something instead of lying there worrying. It’s the worry that gets you, not the lack of sleep.

Dale Carnegie1888–1955
