Proverbs 24:33
New King James Version
33 (A)A little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to rest;
1 Thessalonians 5:6-8
New King James Version
6 (A)Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but (B)let us watch and be [a]sober. 7 For (C)those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk (D)are drunk at night. 8 But let us who are of the day be sober, (E)putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation.

Proverbs 6:4-11
New King James Version
4 (A)Give no sleep to your eyes,
Nor slumber to your eyelids.
5 Deliver yourself like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter,
And like a bird from the hand of the [a]fowler.
The Folly of Indolence
6 (B)Go to the ant, you sluggard!
Consider her ways and be wise,
7 Which, having no [b]captain,
Overseer or ruler,
8 Provides her [c]supplies in the summer,
And gathers her food in the harvest.
9 (C)How long will you [d]slumber, O sluggard?
When will you rise from your sleep?
10 A little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to sleep—
11 (D)So shall your poverty come on you like a prowler,
And your need like an armed man.
