Sleep Reform Tale Ends With Compositor Sleep Death
A London exchange recounts Colonel Henry Watterson's tale of a tired compositor who experiments with drastically reduced sleep, dropping from nine hours to two, only to collapse after 83 hours asleep. He awakens to relearn typing and reading, regaining memory but losing skill. Redfern adds a quip about women in bloomers and a London auctioneer's appearance.
