“We know that efficiency and effectiveness are increased when you're getting sufficient sleep, and it will take you longer to do the same thing on an underslept brain, which means you end up having to stay awake longer. So goes the vicious cycle.”

“...our lack of sleep is a slow form of self-euthanasia...”

“I think we perhaps are, with sleep, where we were with smoking about 50 years ago, in that we had all of the science, and it was right there for the public discussion, but it's not yet adequately sort of percolated out into policy or even just public wisdom.”

“Unfortunately these days, there is a hell of a lot that keeps me awake.”

“I was watching Johnny Carson when I was way too young to be awake that late.”

“I was going out with a few girls and we were in a local. A girl started shouting 'Gogglebox' at me and became really intimidating. I left but I lay awake crying, wondering if the girl knew where I lived.”
