Sleepiness. Very frequent yawning at 1 P.M.; has to stretch out his limbs. Sleepy in afternoon (ninth, twelfth, and fourteenth days). Sleepiness in afternoon, then stitches in left ankle (fourth day). Great sleepiness for half an hour, in afternoon (third day). Great sleepiness in the evening, while reading, removed (second day). After eating some water soup, made from scalded rye-bread with cream, he all at once becomes very sleepy, and falls asleep in his chair; on awaking, does not as usual feel refreshed, but goes immediately to bed, and falls asleep at once.
Dull sleepy feeling, with heaviness of the eyelids, and inability to study (first day). Sleepiness especially in the evening (third day). He is disturbed several times during the night by restlessness of the children, but each time he falls easily asleep again, which is very unusual. He does not feel like getting up; he has scarcely roused himself when he drops off to sleep again (second morning); this happened every morning for more than a week. Sleeplessness. Sleeplessness the first twenty-four hours, with sleeping and waking alternately afterwards. Restless sleep at night (fifth, sixth, and tenth days). Restless night; sleep much disturbed (second day). Very wakeful after going to bed (first night). It is again a habitual thing with him to wake up and feel hat he has had sufficient sleep (fifth day). For several evenings, he drank beer and afterwards wine, and although he went to bed at 1 o’clock he woke at 3, and felt as if he had had enough sleep. When he is aroused by a patient he feels as though he had slept enough, and can do with less slept (third night). Wakefulness all night, with very little sleep (first night); sleep well (second night); sleeplessness (third night). The alternation of wakefulness and sleep has continued at night with great regularity; from the eighth day to the fifteenth there has been regular alternations of sleepless nights and profound sleep; one night getting to sleep with great difficulty, and waking often during the night; the next night the sleep would be quiet and profound. Wakens feeling very week (seventeenth day). Dreams. Dreams the first three nights not unpleasant. Lewd dreams at night (third day).
Lewd dreams often at night (first, second, third, and fourth nights); with erections (first and third nights). At night, vivid lewd dreams, erections of penis, and seminal emissions (first, second, and third nights). A Brunswick sausage, which had become somewhat mouldy, was left in his sleeping-room, and perhaps caused the following dream; he saw a funeral procession, with a large coffin and many smaller ones; the persons had died from scarlet fever; the procession almost came up with him, and stopped at the street corner; as he attempted to get out of the way of the wind, which blew towards him from the procession, he woke up (fourth night).
