Life is something you do when you can't get to sleep.

Life is something you do when you can't get to sleep.

Summary

This quote humorously points out that when sleep evades us, we often turn to the activities of life as a way to fill that time. It suggests that life becomes a distraction or an alternative when we are unable to rest peacefully. It captures the irony of seeking engagement and productivity in times when our minds and bodies crave rest. Additionally, it hints at the restless nature of the human experience and the relentless pursuit of living even during moments ideally dedicated to rest.
