Sleep and Adam Clarke
Pro 20:13 Love not sleep, lest you come to poverty; open your eyes, and you will have plenty of bread.
This passage of Scripture is important in our culture. We write more about sleep in news and science journals than pretty much any other culture and yet we seem to sleep less. I'm wondering if our love for sleep mixed with a love of not 'missing out' on what ever we're staying up to do has caused us to have less sleep than the compilers and authors of Proverbs assume we need while also causing us to love sleep/idleness to the point of the average individual being unproductive.
