Can't Sleep? - Don't Worry There's a Song For That!

 

No sleep!
Nessun dorma!

No sleep!
Nessun dorma!

You too, oh Princess
Tu pure, oh Principessa

In your cold room
Nella tua fredda stanza

Look at the stars that tremble
Guardi le stelle che tremano

Of love and hope
D'amore e di speranza

But my mystery is closed in me
Ma il mio mistero è chiuso in me

No one will know my name
Il nome mio nessun saprà

No, no, I'll say it on your mouth
No, no, sulla tua bocca lo dirò

When the light shines
Quando la luce splenderà

And my kiss will melt
Ed il mio bacio scioglierà

The silence that makes you mine
Il silenzio che ti fa mia

(No one will know his name
(ll nome suo nessun saprà

And we must, alas, die, die)
E noi dovrem, ahimè, morir, morir)

Fade away, oh night
Dilegua, oh notte

Set, stars
Tramontate, stelle

Set, stars
Tramontate, stelle

I'll win at dawn
All'alba vincerò

Will win
Vincerà

Vincerò
Vincerò

Sleeping On A Problem

Sometimes a problem appears far less daunting after a good night's sleep. However, appearances can often be deceptive!

Advice To Prime Ministers

Making do on only a few hours sleep every night, and forcing others to do the same, does not necessarily lead to an increase in high quality productive output.

Advice To Prime Ministers

Get some sleep!

Suicide Bombing

Why is it that the young are the ones required to sacrifice their lives for the alleged "noble" cause created by old men who sleep safely in their beds?

The Dangers of Irish Coffee

Beware the sleep deprivation effects that an overindulgence in Irish coffees can have.

Ideas

When you have an idea that you feel is useful, make a note of it before you forget it.

Sometimes the best ideas pop into your head, just as you are going to sleep; make sure that you keep a dictaphone by the side of your bed, so that you can record these ideas as they occur.

Cats

Cats are very wise; they do as little as possible for themselves, they sleep through most of the day whilst their human owners feed and pamper them.

This is the very lifestyle that many humans seek to emulate.

Democracy

Churchill once said that whilst democracy may not be perfect, it is the best system of governance we have got.

I agree, whilst democracy may well ensure that we are burdened, more often than not, with politicians who underperform and who are far from suitable for their job; it does give us the ability to kick them out of office every four to five years.

Safe in that knowledge, citizens of democratic countries sleep soundly in their beds and tend (apart from on a few occasions) not to riot.

Democracy is by far the best method to maintain a civilised society and social order; as it provides a safety valve for people to vent their frustrations upon the ruling elite, by voting them out of office.
