The above passage from On The Road inspired Day 89 in The Beat Handbook, titled, "On Sleep."
A student asked his master, "What is enlightenment?"
The master replied, "When hungry, eat; when tired, sleep."
In this passage, Jack's (Sal's) behavior embodies this Zen principle.
Trivia question: How many times does Jack mention sleep or sleeping in On The Road?
