Bangalore University 2007 Post Graduate Diploma Journalism (Oriya) Language English (-I) - Question Paper

Even after he started to practice law, his insomnia continued. But Untermyer didn’t worry. “Nature”, he said, “will take care of me”. Nature did. In spite of the small amount of sleep he was getting, his health kept up and he was able to work as hard as any of the young lawyers of the New York Bar. He even worked harder, for he worked while they slept !

At the age of twenty - one, Sam Untermyer was earning seventy-five thousand dollars a year ; and other young attorneys rushed to courtrooms to study his methods. In 1931, he was paid - for handling 1 case - what was probably the highest lawyers fee in all history : a cool million dollars - cash on the barrelhead.

Still he had insomnia - learn half the night - and then got up at 5 A.M. and started dictating letters. By the time most people were just starting work, his day’s work would be almost half done. He lived to the age of eighty-one, this man who had rarely had a sound night’s sleep; but if he had fretted and worried about his insomnia, he would probably have wrecked his life.

We spend a 3rd of our lives sleeping-yet nobody knows what sleep really is. We know it is a habit and a state of rest in which nature knits up the raveled sleeve of care, but we don’t know how many hours of sleep every individual requires. We don’t even know if we have to sleep at all !
