torpor
«The first moments of sleep are an image of death; a hazy torpor grips our thoughts and it becomes impossible for us to determine the exact instant when the ''I,'' under another form, continues the task of existence.»
«Nothing is so well calculated to produce a death-like torpor in the country as an extended system of taxation and a great national debt.»

Author: Jean Cocteau
