Famous quotes containing the words sleep and/or phase:
“Six, or at most seven, hours’ sleep is, for a constancy, as much as you or anybody can want: more is only laziness and dozing, and is, I am persuaded, both unwholesome and stupefying.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“It no longer makes sense to speak of “feeding problems” or “sleep problems” or “negative behavior” is if they were distinct categories, but to speak of “problems of development” and to search for the meaning of feeding and sleep disturbances or behavior disorders in the developmental phase which has produced them.”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
