Reminder: Books are not a substitute for sleep. Trespassers will be prosecuted. Come morning, their eyelids will be stitched together, their bedcovers rendered unmovable; nearby alarms will refuse to break the silence; they’ll have “tired” branded on their foreheads and stay trapped in perpetual slow motion for the rest of the day.

When the mind needs solace, there’s nothing as effective as dreams. But sleep-enforcing rituals have become increasingly complex lately- on nights like this, any path to oblivion should suffice. Read well.
