The Rule of St. Benedict - Chapter 22. The Sleeping Arrangements Of The Monks

(Feb. 28 in leap year)

(1) The monks are to sleep in separate beds.
(2) They receive bedding as provided by the abbot, suitable to monastic life.

(3) If possible, all are to sleep in one place, but should the size of the community preclude this, they will sleep in groups of ten or twenty under the watchful care of seniors.
(4) A lamp must be kept burning in the room until morning.

(5) They sleep clothed, and girded with belts or cords; but they should remove their knives, lest they accidentally cut themselves in their sleep.
(6) Thus the monks will always be ready to arise without delay when the signal is given; each will hasten to arrive at the Work of God before the others, yet with all dignity and decorum.
(7) The younger brothers should not have their beds next to each other, but interspersed among those of the seniors.
(8) On arising for the Work of God, they will quietly encourage each other, for the sleepy like to make excuses.
