was sleeping between two

Note for some other time: I Thes has Saul discussing being sons of light and day contrasted to those who belong to the night. And those that are dark, sleep. There is a warning to not sleep as others do.

I've mentioned sleepiness before, and I think there's something larger here which I care not to develop now. But quickly:

* 106 refs for sleep
* Refs range from literal sleep to metaphorical and spiritual sleep. Lots of analogies here that also vary between death and evil.
* Tons of parables: Laz, little girl, Adam prior to the rib-snatching, etc.

Some tie-in here to my own sleepiness (literal) and sleepiness (spiritual) and sleepiness (emotional). Another time.
