Photos by William Wegman, Mary Ellen Mark, Laura Levine, Tim Rollins, and other noted photographers include a cherubic baby blissfully asleep, Rene Magritte dozing on his couch in coat and tie, and many surreal dreamscapes. In the last essay, Fran Lebowitz makes us grin. I love sleep because it is both pleasant and safe to use. Pleasant because one is in the best possible company and safe because sleep is the consummate protection against the unseemliness that is the invariable consequence of being awake. What you don't know won't hurt you.
Sleep is death without the responsibility.
