Recently, in an attempt to find out for myself what it was about and how it works and how it came into being, I decided to get 40 winks, and to see what would happen.
So, I lay down, shut my eyes and proceeded to wink them, first in pairs and then sequentially, until I reached a count of 40....I rose and looked at the clock, and only a few scant minutes had passed by!
Yet, this term is always intended to mean having gotten full night's rest, isn't it?
Well, turns out it's wrong-I know; I proved it!
