Borges and Insomnia

"And then there was a clock. It worried me very much. Because with a clock you may doze off, and then you may try to humbug yourself into thinking that you've slept a long time. If you have a clock, then it will give you the time in the face every quarter of the hour, and then you say, "Well, now it's two o'clock, not it's quarter past, now half past two , now quarter to three, now the three strokes," and then you go on and on...It's awful. Because you know you haven't missed any of the strokes."

Jorge Luis Borges, The Last Interview and Other Conversations
