Why?—Because this member has an important task which we must bear in mind. At night, this astral body is not inactive, for then it works upon the physical and etheric body, and the clairvoyant seer can observe this. During the day, we use up our physical and etheric body, for everything we do uses up the physical body, and the expression of this is fatigue. Now the astral body repairs what we use up during the day. The astral body really eliminates fatigue while we are asleep. This shows the importance and necessity of sleep. The clairvoyant seer can do this repair-work consciously. The refreshing element of sleep depends on the fact that the astral body has worked in the right way upon the physical and astral bodies. But since the astral body must first return into the physical and etheric bodies, the refreshment of sleep arises gradually, that is to say, about one hour after waking up.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"II.

Es gibt dafür gar keinen treffenderen Ausdruck. Warum? Dieses Wesensglied hat eine wichtige Aufgabe, und diese wichtige Aufgabe müssen wir uns klarmachen. Dieser Astralleib ist in der Nacht kein Müßiggänger, denn in der Nacht arbeitet er, wie der Seher sehen kann, an dem physischen und Ätherleib. Während des Tages nutzen Sie den physischen und Ätherleib ab, denn alles, was Sie tun, ist ja Abnützung des physischen Leibes, und der Ausdruck dieser Abnützung ist ja die Ermüdung. Das nun, was Sie während des Tages abnutzen, das bessert der Astralleib während der Nacht wieder aus. Tatsächlich schafft der Astralleib während des Schlafes die Ermüdung hinweg. Daraus ergibt sich die Wichtigkeit und Notwendigkeit des Schlafes. Der Seher kann diese Ausbesserung bewußt vornehmen. Das Erquickende des Schlafes beruht darauf, daß der Astralleib am physischen und Ätherleib richtig gearbeitet hat. Weil der Astralleib aber erst in den physischen und ÄÄtherleib zurückkehren muß, tritt die Erquickung des Schlafes erst allmählich, das heißt etwa eine Stunde nach dem Erwachen auf.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":169,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/100/1907-06-17/p034"}],"english":["GA 100/1907-06-17/p039"],"method":"length+anchor_constrained","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":169,"en_words":174,"ratio":1.03,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.08,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":4619,"original_word_count":4267,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"ANS1942","book_title":"Theosophy and Rosicrucianism","publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA100/English/ANS1942/19070617p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"source_says_translator_unknown","note":"The source page itself says the translator is unknown.
