Future of sleep

Sleep is a miracle from the miracles of the world that repeats every day, and one of the most wonderful things is that a person finds himself compelled every twenty-four hours to lie down in a horizontal position in which he deliberately and knowingly loses consciousness for the next eight hours... when "the whole world is handed over to darkness" and security men, and he puts aside his responsibilities, his ambitions, and his worries, and surrenders to a flood of sensory forgetfulness, and thus we voluntarily abandon the world we are familiar with, with its experiences and memories that we have practiced for about half a century or so, to a world of imagination that we created with our own hands, a world in which no other human mind shares.
