[Yet] a little sleep, a little slumber,…. The sight of the field and vineyard of the slothful put Solomon in mind of an observation he had made before, which fitly describes the disposition and gesture of the sluggard, by which means his field and vineyard came to ruin; while he should be up and tilling his field and planting his vineyard, he is in his bed; and awaking, instead of rising, craves for and indulges himself in another little doze, and which he repeats again and again;
a little folding of the hands to sleep; which ought to have been employed another way; [See comments on Pr 6:10].

Pro 24:33 [Yet] a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:
Ver. 33. Yet a little sleep. ] Mercer makes this to be the lesson that the wise man both learnt himself and also lays before others – viz., to be content with a little sleep – to be up and at it early, &c., that the beggar catch us not. But I rather incline to those that think that he here brings in the sluggard pleading for his sloth, and by an elegant mimesis imitates and personifies him, saying, as he used to do, “yet a little more sleep, a little more slumber,” &c. “A little,” and yet “sleeps,” in the plural. A little he would have, but a little will not serve his turn. See Trapp on “ Pro 6:9 “ &c.
