Regular sleep patterns seem to be a rarity in the Sherlock
Holmes stories. Watson dozed off while Holmes remained vigilant or
was prevented from sleeping by something he saw; various clients
described something disturbing their sleep.
Such instances of sleepless days and nights, rude awakenings,
and other sleep-related issues give us plenty somnia
interrupta examples to discuss in the Canon. It's just a
Trifle.
If you have a suggestion for a Trifles episode, let us
know at trifles @ ihearofsherlock.com. If you use your idea on the
air, we'll send you some Sherlockian goodies.
