Sleep. Its nature consists of immobilising the senses, giving heat and hydrating, albeit moderately. Optimum: sleep eight hours between the first and last hours of the night. Benefit: to restore the senses, the body and to digest food. Harm: if very long, it stimulates the body and destroys the qualities, particularly when the stomach is empty. Remedy for harm: with wet foodstuffs. Most advisable for the phlegmatic; according to others, for the melancholy, and is best for the elderly, in any season and in any region.
