There are men I know who can wake themselves at any time to the minute. They say no to themselves, as they
by their heads upon the pillow, "Four Thirty", "Four forty-five" or "Five-fifteen", and as the clock strikes, they
open their ses. It is really wanderful. The more one thinks about it, the greater the mystery grows.
In my own case, my inner watchmen is, perhaps, somewhat out of practise. He does his best, but he is
overanrious. He worries himself, and loses cout. I say to him maybe,"Five-thirty, please" and he wakes me
with a start at 2:30 a.m. I look at my watch. He suggests that I forgot to wind it up. I put it to my ear, it is still
qing. But the watchman is confident it is 5.30 am., if not a little later. To satisfy him, I put on a pair of
slippers and go downstairs to check the dining room clock. What happens to a man when he wanders about the
house in the middle of the night, clad in a dressing gown and a pair of slippers, there is no need to describe.
Everything-apecially everything with a sharp corner-takes delight in hitting him. I return to bed bad-
tempered, and take half an hour to get to sleep again. From four to five my inner watchman wakes me every
ten minutes I wish I had never said a word to him about getting up. At 5 a/m/ he goes to sleep himself and
leave it to someone else to wake me up, which they do half an hour later than usual.
