That is extremely interesting. Apparently, our modern electrified age has reduced the amount of sleep that is considered normal and acceptable. Some people might say that sleeping 12 hours a day is laziness, but once you are asleep, aside from alarms, there isn't much you can do about it. I can sleep through a lot. Well, a good Soldier is said to be able to sleep whenever he can....

Just not for half the day, though.

Your reply is interesting. I remember my son and brothers and cousins and uncles saying the same thing about good soldiers being able to sleep anywhere. But they never said anything about “long sleepers” in the military. Unless on furlough, of course. Otherwise, that bugler crows pretty early.

Sometimes I think we don’t give ourselves “permission” to sleep until we’re ready to get up. Except maybe when we’re on vacation.

I think we all ought to pamper ourselves a bit more. It’s good for the soul.
