Throughout literature, "sleep" functions both as a literal state and a rich metaphor, symbolizing rest, vulnerability, escape, and even transformation. In dramatic works like Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, sleep becomes an element that marks moments of inattention or warning, as when action is urged with "Brutus, thou sleep’st: awake!" [1]. Meanwhile, in narrative descriptions ranging from fairy tales to personal memoirs, sleep is portrayed either as a much-needed relief from distress—as when a character finds no respite from tormenting thoughts [2]—or as a simple, everyday act that underscores human frailty and need [3], [4]. This multifaceted use, which spans everything from the physical act of lying down in a modest bed [5] to symbolic rest as an allegory for the cessation of life’s struggles [6], illustrates sleep’s enduring role as both a literal and figurative device in literature, deeply entwining our waking lives with the mystery of slumber [7], [8].
