Ah, furniture… no matter how advanced our science becomes, furniture has been a misconception from the very beginning of the occidental world. For thousands of years it has been known all over Asia that the proper sitting technique will drown the need for sleep, while the mind works sharper than ever.

I should tell Watson one day, he’ll be interested.

I like this:-)

You have turned his "nest building" into an entirely logical response to his knowledge of the East.

I once read that ten minutes of meditation make up for four hours of sleep, so when I read TWIS, I thought how well awake a man Sherlock Holmes must be. ;P

Well, guess I should take up meditation over sleep :P
Nice little piece of writing! Good job :)

It's... interesting at least. =P
Thanks! ^^

It would be just like Holmes to have picked up this bit of very esoteric knowledge (in Victorian times particularly). Nice!

I picked it up years ago as an excuse for staying up late, he can thank me. XP

Interesting, unique angle. I'm still in favour of beds myself, mind you.

I've been the very happy owner of a futon for several years now, only to be forced to sleep in nothing but beds wherever I went in Japan. They hog them, I tell you.

I'm sure he'll be just thrilled with the lecture. ;)
