Among life's mysteries is this. In the days of my youth, bodily aches and pains were assuaged by a good night's rest. After a day spent "breaking rocks in the hot sun", I would arise the next morning refreshed and relatively supple. In my twilight years, I awake stiffer and worse for wear than when I went to bed.
The conundrum is that now I feel infinitely better after swimming 1,000 yards than I did before entering the water. Should I forego slumber for aquatics? Should I rely on 40 laps rather than 40 winks to recover after manual labor? Is a 25 yard long water bed the answer?
