春しゅん眠みん暁あかつきを覚おぼえず

expression

in spring one sleeps a sleep that knows no dawn; in spring one sleeps like a log

Proverb meaning that spring mornings are so comfortable one oversleeps without noticing the dawn. Originates from a poem by Meng Haoran.

• 春しゅん眠みん暁あかつきを覚おぼえずで、今朝けさも寝ね坊ぼうしてしまった。

  As they say, in spring one sleeps a sleep that knows no dawn—I overslept again this morning.
