Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘Reflect, O Mufazzal, upon the actions that have been designated for mankind such as eating and sleeping… if man were to have to go to sleep while having to think about relaxing his body and reviving his powers, he would probably find it burdensome and turn away [from sleeping], and refuse himself [sleep] till his body would wear out and waste away.
الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) ـ للمفضل بن عمر ـ : فَكِّرْ يا مُفَضَّلُ في الأفْعالِ الّتي جُعِلَتْ في الإنْسانِ مِن الطُّعْمِ والنَّومِ ... لَو كانَ إنّما يَصيرُ إلى النَّوم بالتَّفَكُّرِ في حاجَتِهِ إلى راحَةِ البَدَنِ و إجْمامِ قُواهُ كانَ عَسى أنْ يَتَثاقَلَ عَن ذلكَ ، فيَدْمَغهُ حتّى يَنْهَكَ بَدَنُهُ .
