Sleep is a beneficial and necessary work of nature…

Martin Luther on Sleep and sleeplessness.

“Sleep is a beneficial and necessary work of nature. I think it’s a most annoying thing for a sleeping person to be disturbed in his rest. Hippolytus wrote from Italy that it’s the severest torment not to let robbers sleep when they are being questioned. Such sleeplessness is the worst of all tortures.” – August 27, 1538
