I don’t like the man who doesn’t sleep, says God.
Sleep is the friend of man,
Sleep is the friend of God.
Sleep is perhaps the most beautiful thing I have created.
And I myself rested on the seventh day. …
But they tell me that there are men
Who work well and sleep badly.
Who don’t sleep.
What a lack of confidence in me.

What if you’ve slept too much over the years and now you’ve decided to change the bad habit and start sleeping less?

I think you are safe. Since God rested only on the 7th day, You have a whole week to stay awake. By the Sabbeth day I assure you will be knocked out in bed the whole day.

Hmm… but then again we are not the Almighty. Ops! I forgot that fact for a moment. Hmm… However, we are created in the image of God… Hmmm….
