From the diary of Samuel Pepys (1663-1703)

And so away to Stevenage and stayed till a showre was over; and
so rode easily to Welling---where we supped well and had two
beds in the room and so lay single; and must remember it that,
of all the nights that ever I slept in my life, I never did
pass a night with more epicurisme of sleep---there being now
and then a noise of people stirring that waked me; and then it
was a very rainy night; and then I was a little weary, that
what between waking and then sleeping again, one after another,
I never had so much content all my life.  And so my wife says
it was with her.
