Samuel. Me thinks that a slip, ( a good rest). Most of us get up from a 
rest refreshed.  Even eternal sleep doesn't work for the same reason.  I 
only know of a few descriptive words, one is death another is hell and  
there is heaven I am sure I believe in the first, but doubt the second 
and third.  The first is sure but I think I would be kidding my self to 
say the other two are.  Doug
