That's pretty cool. Kinda reads like narcolepsy though. I wonder.

It's a skill soldiers commonly learn. Grant (and Sherman) were very much soldiers' soldiers, close to the troops and the conditions the troops lived in. Any number of accounts of veterans, modern or historical, will tell you that a soldier learns to sleep whenever and wherever they can steal some shut-eye!
