Sleep: the stepchild of Death.

Sleep, those little slices of death — how I loathe them.

Death, so called, is a thing which makes men weep, And yet a third of life is passed in sleep.

Sleep is pain's easiest salve, and doth fulfill all the offices of death, except to kill

Death - the last sleep? No, it is the final awakening

Personally, I don't trust people who go out of their way to state they never read or watch horror and insist there's something wrong with those of us who do.
