zgirnius:
This had not escaped me, it is a daydream of mine to have a TT. I 
would want a Time-Turner for a single purpose: I would put the kids 
to bed, amuse myself half the night, set the TT back to the moment my 
kids fell aslepp, and enjoy a long, restful night's sleep without 
giving up my precious free hours. <g>

zgirnius:
Me either, except by setting the TT back first as I suggest, you 
accrue three advantages.

1) You can sleep for 12 hours without waking up to mess with the TT, 
and (more important)
2) By having been awake and aware in the house in which you plan to 
sleep, during the time in which you plan to sleep, you can know 
nothing untoward has happened that would militate against TT use, 
and (most important)
3) you don't have to share a bed with your sleeping self for four 
hours.
