Chapter IV 

 HOW TO SLEEP 



"Do those things that will not injure you; and calculate 

 before the act. Nor receive sleep upon your softened eyes 

 before you have thrice gone over each act of the day What 

 have I passed by? What have I done? What necessary 

 act has not been done by me ? And beginning from the first, 

 go through them. And then, if you have acted improperly, 

 reproach yourself; but if properly, be glad." 



From the "Golden Words " oj Pythagoras.
