The Arabs used to praise men for sleeping little, and women for sleeping much and being indolent. They called a woman Miksāl, considering this a sign of delicacy and femininity. As ʿUmar ibn Abī Rabīʿah said:
وغَضِيضُ الطَّرفِ مِكْسَالُ الضُّحى * أَحورُ المُقلةِ كالرِّيم الأغَنْ.
"With lowered gaze, a Miksāl in the forenoon, Whose dark eyes resemble the gazelle of the desert."
