1t means rest in bed for at least

Now you can read just so much

can knit or play solitaire just so

get fuzzy. So the rest becomes
quite a burden.
In fact, in the old days the
prospective patient dreaded the
rest more than he did any other
feature Of the treatment. And
when he got started to resting, he
didn't relish it any better than he
did in the anticipation.
