“He that sleeps feels not the toothache”
— Geoffrey Chaucer

Simplified Meaning:
When someone is sleeping, they can't feel pain. Imagine you have a toothache; it really hurts and bothers you. But when you fall asleep, you're not aware of the pain anymore, so it doesn't bother you. Think about when you have a headache, and you take a nap. During that nap, you don't feel the headache. This is because sleep takes your mind away from the pain. In life, this can mean that sometimes, taking a break or resting can help us forget our problems. Instead of constantly worrying, letting our minds and bodies rest can provide relief. If you ever feel overwhelmed or in pain, consider taking some time to relax or sleep to give yourself a break.
