sleep

Description

Sleep is the ritual of self-delusion that purports to restore body and mind by abducting us from reality for hours, only to greet us awake with guilt and exhaustion simultaneously. The bed is the stage for sweet dreams and cruel mornings alike, and the pillow merely a vehicle for both hope and despair.

Definitions

• Sleep: the enigmatic hypnosis that escapes from truth yet accumulates more fatigue in the bargain.
• Sleep: a pact that surrenders consciousness in darkness in exchange for the pain reserved at dawn.
• Sleep: a hypnotic trick that adrift us between dream and reality, amplifying both anxiety and comfort.
• Sleep: a parable of freedom imprisoned in a bed, trembling before the bars of the alarm clock.
• Sleep: a rental service for consciousness, managed at the whim of its owner.
• Sleep: the ultimate time-thief’s weapon, cohabiting ecstasy and agony.
• Sleep: the reset button of life-support, repeated endlessly.
• Sleep: a near-fraudulent rest that temporarily waives debt called sleep deficit.
• Sleep: the ultimate choice game weighing the lure of dreaminess against bodily pain.
• Sleep: the silent editor that reshuffles past traumas under the guise of memory consolidation.
