"Comfort is the worst addiction"

Marcus Aurelius: "Guys, I just found this new medical treatment, it's so fucking good, everyone in the Empire has to try it"

"Doc, it worked miracles, I feel so good, what was it?" "Sleep"

Funny enough, we have an extant letter from one of Aurelius's teachers yelling at him (while he was Emperor no less) for going down to a nice beachside resort town and then spending the whole time working on affairs of state, including working by candlelight all night long. Some sleep would have done poor Marcus some good, one expects.
