How Do You Sleep? | by L. E. Eeman
Sound sleep is work of repair done within your body by yourself, although you may remain completely unconscious of the part you are playing, it is done by yourself just as much as any other work you do, although it is done subconsciously. As it is probably of more importance to your general welfare than any other work you may do, you should take at least as much care and trouble to prepare and train for it as you do for any other important business.

C., who not only was the willing subject of countless tests involving in some cases acute fatigue, sustained endurance and great discomfort, but also gave me the greatest assistance in gathering the materials for this book, in writing it and in correcting its proofs.
