Sleep on It

Sleep on It

Delay making a decision until you've had more time to think, often overnight.

Examples

  • We don't have to sign the contract today — let's sleep on it and talk again tomorrow.
  • Not sure if I should buy those concert tickets; I'm going to sleep on it and decide in the morning.
  • I'm upset about what she said, but I'll sleep on it before I respond so I don't overreact.

Quote

Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.

Winston Churchill

Remix: Don't get stuck celebrating wins or crushed by losses — what matters is that you keep going.
