Bhagavad Gita Chapter 14.8

tamas tv ajñāna-jaḿ viddhi
mohanaḿ sarva-dehinām
pramādālasya-nidrābhis
tan nibadhnāti bhārata

Translation 

O son of Bharata, know that the mode of darkness, born of ignorance, is the delusion of all embodied living entities. The results of this mode are madness, indolence and sleep, which bind the conditioned soul.
