B. Priestley did, that consciousnesscontinues after disembodiment or death, not forever, but for a longwhile.Three score years and ten is such a stingy ration of time, whenthere is so much time around.Perhaps that’s why some of us areinsomniacs; night is so precious that it would be pusillanimous to sleepall through it!A “bad night” is not always a bad thing.~Brian W.Aldiss
