Sleep Travel

Two young students believe that they have perfected the art of Dozing. According to our sources, it is now possible to attend an all night session, and still arrive at lectures as refreshed as one who has slept all night.

Their method is based upon that used by servicemen during the last war, who were able to gain much needed sleep, and still he alert to any movement, from an unfriendly direction.

"If on a train, or tram," says one of our informants, "concentrate on your destination. This is similar to the common practice of concentrating on the time at which one wishes to awake, which with practice is accurate, usually, to the nearest 10 minutes, or so.

"The second step, apparently, is to fix one's mind upon some totally familiar object, and then lapse into pleasant slumber. According to experts in the art of Dozology (exponents are termed Dozy Fellows), one never completely loses consciousness."

The system works only too well, as I found out when I dozed through five stations too many.
