Because Napoleon slept only three hours a night, hundreds of students have tried the experiment; but instead of Austerlitz and Saragossa, there came of it only a sick headache and a botch of a recitation.

We are told of how many books a man can read in the five spare minutes before breakfast, and the ten minutes at noon, but I wish some one could tell us how much rest a man can get in fifteen minutes after dinner, or how much health in an hour's horseback ride, or how much fun in a Saturday afternoon of cricket.

He who has such an idea of the value of time that he takes none of it for rest wastes all his time.
Most Americans do not take time for sufficient sleep.

We account for our own extraordinary health by the fact that we are fanatics on the subject of sleep.

We differ from our friend Napoleon Bonaparte in one respect: we want nine hours' sleep, and we take it--eight hours at night and one hour in the day.
