When he was gone, Devereaux considered the possibilities for a few moments, then he lay down, pulled his blankets around him, and fell promptly to sleep. A good soldier eats when there is food, never stands when he can sit, and never stays awake when he can sleep - as long as it doesn't interfere with his duty.
(from Under the Sweetwater Rim, by Louis L'Amour)
