གང་ཞིག་རྨུགས་དང་གཉིད་ལ་དགའ་གྱུར་བ།  །

དེ་ཡི་ཤེས་རབ་ཤིན་ཏུ་ཉམ་ཆུང་འགྱུར།  །
དེ་ཡི་བློ་ཡང་ཡོངས་སུ་ཉམས་པར་འགྱུར།  །

ཡེ་ཤེས་ལས་ནི་རྟག་ཏུ་དེ་ཉམས་འགྱུར།   །

Whoever takes delight in drowsiness and sleep
Will find their intelligence thereby made weak.
And with the diminishing of mind's capacity,
Purest wisdom will remain forever out of reach.[1]

Buddha Shakyamuni, The Sūtra that Inspires Noble Intentions (Adhyasayasamcodana Sutra)
