Rest is one of the most important personal resources, and it has a whole discipline of its own. Sometimes, when we are over-tired, we tend to flit about, doing nothing and spending long hours talking into the night when we would do better to get more sleep. A lot of aggression and conflicts have somatic causes. Some assistants in our communities would do well occasionally to take a long hot bath, go to bed and sleep for twelve or fourteen hours![Jean Vanier, Community and Growth, page 179]
