Francis would not allow his resting place to be laid over with covers or garments when he received hospitality, but the bare ground received his bare limbs, with only a tunic between. When at times he refreshed his body with sleep, he very often slept sitting up, and in no other position, using a piece of wood or a stone as a pillow.
