Les - Interview 27
>>
Les divided his bedroom into two, one area just for sleeping, and the other with his computer and music equipment for entertainment.
Les has had several very interesting and different jobs in his lifetime, ranging from being in the army, to being a theatre manager, working in the Sudan, and being a driver. He only retired finally when he was 80. Les has several health problems which contribute to making his sleep very disturbed, but he won’t let his poor sleep affect what he does during the day.
