I have not been able to get a wink of sleep all night, somnum ego hac nocte oculis non vidi meis (Ter., Heaut., 3, 1, 82). I get no sleep at night, noctem insomnis ago (I am unable to sleep); but ☞ noctem pervigilo means,” I do not attempt to go to sleep all night”). If I could but get some sleep, ego si somnum capere possem. I cannot get any sleep after I have been once awaked, ego somnum interruptum recuperare non possum.

To go to sleep (PROP.), obdormire: obdormiscere (also = to die gently): somnum capere (to take sleep): somno opprimi (to be overcome with sleep). I go to sleep, somnus me arripit (against my inclination, Justinus, 11, 13, 1). To have gone to sleep, somno sopitum esse: to have fallen into a deep sleep, arte et graviter dormitare coepisse: to go to sleep again, somnum repetere: to go to sleep at or over a thing, indormire alicui rei; obdormiscere in re (e.g., in mediis vitae laboribus, Cic., Tusc., 1, 49, 117, there = to die). To go to sleep (figuratively), torpescere: refrigescere (to grow cold): in oblivionem ire or adduci (to fall into oblivion): industriam remittere (to abate one’s diligence). To have gone to sleep (i. e., to be forgotten), jacere; in oblivione jacere; oblivione obrutum esse; oblitteratum esse.
