Best of all he liked to sleep. Sleeping was a very important activity for
him. He liked to sleep for longish periods, great swathes of time. Merely
sleeping overnight was not taking the business seriously. He enjoyed a good
night's sleep and wouldn't miss one for the world, but found it as anything
halfway near enough. He liked to be asleep by half-past eleven in the
morning if possible, and if that should come directly after a nice
leisurely lie-in then so much the better. A little light breakfast and a
quick trip to the bathroom while fresh linen was applied to his bed is
really all the activity he liked to undertake, and he took care that it
didn't janate the sleepiness out of him and disturb his afternoon of
napping. Sometimes he was able to spend an entire week asleep, and this he
regarded as a good snooze. He had also slept through the whole of 1986 and
hadn't missed it.
