Late-night Thinker Gifts

'The pharmacy didn't have any sleep masks, but they had a sale on duct tape.'

'I know these safety meetings tend to run very late, however... '

"Henry is a night person."

"Wake up, baby. I just realized how my insomnia is all your fault."

A Nation of Insomniacs

"Virtue is like a thing I saw one time when I was somewhere." "Do not be concerned with gooble or that tooten which bones." Man, I gotta stop writing these in the middle of the night. Confucius in the Morning.

"I suppose you're wondering why I've summoned you here at 3 AM, minion." "I try not to wonder." "After crunching the numbers, I've determined we'd increase profits by being open 24/7." "We're in the suburbs. Everyone's asleep." "Not true. By being closed at 3 AM, we're missing out on the potentially-lucrative Igor the Wino clientele." "Go to the alley and give Igor a 1-for-the-price-of-2 coupon." "Very bad man."

What are you doing up, mom? Big meeting tomorrow. Must be prepared. It's one a.m.! Go to bed, young lady. You need your sleep. It must be late. I heard my voice coming out of your mouth. Scary!

'So, ten thousand pounds could be yours if you call in and answer this question...Why the hell aren't you in bed?!'

'It's midnight, do you know where your brain is?'

'It depends on whether you see yourself as yesterday's man, today's man, or tomorrow's man.'

"Oog worships the Moon - he doesn't get up early enough to worship the Sun."

"My insomnia is getting worse, doctor - I can't even sleep now when there is a party political programme on television."

"Let's face it life's not fair, how come I get to be the one suffering from insomnia?"

"You go on in, I’m just going to catch up with the moon for a few minutes."

My belief is if you're old enough to take texts, counter-texts, and meta-texts in Western Philosophy, you should be old enough to drink.

That midnight hour when fleeting memories come home to roost.

"The overthinker"

"Looking at you, the moon and beyond, don't you think we could start a blog?"

"Why is it always me that has to get up just as I'm falling asleep to do things I forgot."

"I don't care if it is itty-bitty. Turn it off!"

Night-shift entrance

"Let's go to sleep so that when we wake up today will be tomorrow."

"Goodnight, Dan, you handsome devil!"

"Honey, wake up. I had that dream again where I wake up and you get angry at me for waking you up."

"Someday, son, a giant conglomerate will find a way to harness the moonlight and make us pay for it."

"It's only insomnia if there's nothing good on."

"I also have trouble sleeping. I don't understand why. No one I talk to seems to have any trouble falling asleep."

David Letterman

Tomorrow's another day, he thought, unless I get lucky and sleep right through it.

Man reading in lamp
