Partly this idea came out a conversation we were having the other night. Can you really sleep just twenty minutes at a time, every four hours, and be healthy and functioning and happy with all those hours you save?
Evidently some people say so. Such figures as Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and certain unnamed monks have been said to do so.
It made me think of this amazing blog, since there are some charts there where proof of Jefferson's sleep schedule should reside, among many other things. Consider it a preliminary supplementary delightful reading.
And thinking of that blog, coupled with our readings for the past few seminars--the Book of Job in the Old Testament, and the Gospel according to St. Matthew in the New--made me want to start this blog and this reading group.
I still sleep at night, for now.
