The Hirslanden clinic is one of the few in the world which specializes in sleep therapy, a prolonged period of general anesthesia which it calls Dauerschlafe (long sleep) and which "freezes" patients for from 10 to 40 days into a coma so deep and prolonged it becomes a blur. "I really didn't have much faith in such a far-out remedy," says Rooks. "But like many people worn to a frazzle in the rat-race, I had reached the end of my rope and the prospect of sweet sleep, sleep, sleep was welcome." That sleep has remarkable restorative powers not only mentally but for many physical ills is nothing new. "What you need is a good night's sleep" is older than "eat your spinach." Shakespeare, as long ago as 1606, sensed that sleep "knits up the ravell'd sleave of care." In the 1920s, the Russian physiologist, Ivan Pavlov, famous for his experiments with conditioned reflexes, was a pioneer in using sleep therapy as a tool against neurosis.

"Then that madman would fly to Jamaica to photograph a sunset. Rooks is crazy about sunsets!" Rooks, who hasn't had a drink or any sort of drug in five years and now "turns on" through meditation, paused in his story to fetch a soft drink for himself.

His nine-year-old son came in to ask if he could ride his bicycle out on the street and Rooks resumed his strange tale. "All my wealthy friends just sort of laughed when I suggested investing in my film venture because most all of them still remembered the old image of Rooks the juice head, the loser. "It eventually cost me about $500,000 of my own money, and I really don't have a lot more than that, but when the film took the Silver Lion (second prize) at the Venice Film Festival in 1966, I began to breathe a little more easily.

Oddly enough, such prolonged sleep is not necessarily refreshing.

Rooks emerged from his 21 -day "nap" as groggy and unsatisfied as many people feel after a short afternoon snooze. "It's the most tiring repose that could ever be prescribed," he told me. But his Rip Van Winkle awakening came a rebirth. Conrad Rooks had "slept himself off" the vices that were killing him. "By the time I emerged from the clinic in Switzerland, somewhat shaky, but at least healthy," says Rooks, "I decided to go to Greece and think things out.
