''et on dort'' sonne mieux que ''dort!'' ouai remplaçant subtilement l'ordre par une rapide expectation. DianeV j'avoue que nimporte quel mot fonctionne tant qu'il aie été associé au sommeil ds le passé, par apprentisage ou post-hypnotiquement. Surement que bcp de français entreraient en hypnose avec ''sleep'' puisqu'il fait partie des premier mot anglais qu'on apprend à l'école. Dans ce cas le mot ''École'' endormirait drete là lol! ''Dodo'' était tjrs suivie d'une sieste qnd jétais jeune.
