That's crazy relay race time, a month chasing another
as day hunts at night, and night, day.
the way, tell me, Frere Jacques ... do you sleep the sleep of the just, sleep peaceful and deep? Friends, readers, the Sandman sprinkles Does your nights sleep a peaceful and refreshing and tiring or stirred? And that we move 1 / 3 of our life with eyes closed, in a physiological slowed, while the Queen of the house stirs the heart of dreaming *. Dreams, nightmares, insomnia, hypersomnia ... But who or what is chairing this vital ritual ...?
Who? is Morpheus, the son of Hypnos. The winged god walks the earth and affects a mortal flower poppy to sleep. Unless this is Hypnos himself, brother Twin Death. Through his short, elegant wings attached to his temples, he quickly flew to the rescue of mortals who want to sleep. I confess that I have a preference for Morpheus ... just in case send me his twin brother Hypnos.
What? is the brain. In the absence of winged god, we have some brain structures, the thalamus and the hypothalamus that secrete hormones, and the president wake cycle - sleep-dream. And the biological clock? "Serotonin also plays an important role in sleep because it serves to manufacture melatonin. Melatonin, which is produced during the night, plays a fundamental role in the regulation of biological clock. She is responsible for the entire sleep-wake cycle, while serotonin is involved more specifically to the awakening, initiation of sleep and the REM sleep. "(1)

Sleep, son of the quiet loner
Night Sleep, son of the quiet night alone, Father
quiet feeder of all animals,
Enchanting graceful, sweet forgetting our woes, And
wounded spirits unit salutary :
God in favor of all, why you are to me otherwise?
Why am I charged only works, however
wet night that guides his black horse,
And everyone enjoys using your regular?
Your silence where is he? your rest and your peace,
And these dreams flying like a thick cloud, Who
waves of Oblivion are washing our thoughts?
O brother of Death, that thou art enemy!
I invoke for help, but you're asleep, And
j'ards, always taking care, into your icy horrors.
Philippe Desportes (1546-1606)
That night, the dark night, dozing and deep
That night, the dark, hushed and deep. The huge shadow
expands its wings over the world.
In your palace kept happy by the barrel,
In your beds of velvet, damask, of lawn,
Under your warm coverlets of sables,
Under the cloud of soft white muslin,
Behind your curtains which hide under their folds
All pleasures with all the oversights,
To the sound of a band in love and distant
As a pilot, trembling, hardly dares
Informing the purple ceiling and lights,
You, Duke of St. Arnaud, you, Count de Maupas,
you, senators, governors, generals, judges, princes,
You, Caesar, to love your knees provinces
Thou REVAS empire and producer
Sleep, masters ... - This is the day. Arise, convicts!
Victor Hugo (1802-1885)

's sleep Leilah
Neither wing noises or sounds of running water, no murmurs;
Ash sun swimming on the grass in flower And his beak
stealth Bengali Plover
Drinks like a golden blood, the juice of ripe mangoes.
In the orchard royal, red blackberries,
Under the clear sky that burns and has more color,
Leilah, languid and pink heat
Ends eyes with long lashes in the shade of branches. His
crowned with ruby press her lovely arm;
Amber from her bare foot gently colored beaded
The lattice of narrow slipper.
She laughs and sleeps and dreams of the beloved,
As a fruit of purple, glowing and scented
Who refreshes the heart by altering the mouth.
Charles-Marie Leconte de Lisle (1818-1894)
The Dungeness Valley
is a green hollow where a river sings,
Madly catching on the grasses rags
Argent; where the sun, the mountains proud
shines: it's a little valley bubbling with light.
A young soldier, mouth open, head bare, And
neck bathed in cool blue watercress, Sleeps
and is lying in the grass under the sky,
Pale in his green bed where the light rains.
feet in the flags, he sleeps. Smiling as
smiled a sick child, he takes a nap:
Nature, rock him warmly: he is cold.
fragrances are not his nostrils quiver;
He sleeps in the sun, his hand on his chest, Tranquil
. He has two red holes in his right side.
Arthur Rimbaud (1854-1891)

Who cares forget

Clos me, make me sleep,
I wait on my pillow,
Where I want the head down:
I'm in my bed without moving, To better your sweetness

Gentle whose sentence is embedded.
Haste thee, Sleep, come:
But who can you keep both?
Nothing in this place do you delay, the dog barks
around here,
The rooster does not announce the date,

A broken back is going to stock

If you can, as you wish,

At the height of extreme sadness,
To show what is your power,
Let me have some fun
During the pain that oppresses me.
If you can represent us
Well we can satisfy,
Separated long distance sum
O gentle and graceful! Represents
still in my eyes I cry The one absence.
