In the winter time, that is from the Calends of November until Easter, the sisters shall rise at what is calculated to be the eighth hour of the night, so that they may sleep somewhat longer than half the night and rise with their rest completed. And the time that remains after the Night Office should be spent in study by those sisters who need a better knowledge of the Psalter or the lessons. From Easter to the aforesaid Calends of November, the hour of rising should be so arranged that the Morning Office, which is to be said at daybreak, will follow the Night Office after a very short interval, during which they may go out for the necessities of nature.

We should be mindful of time: night, day and the passing of the seasons.

We should give ourselves time for sleep, a full eight hours of rest.

We should gives ourselves time for study, attending especially to our deficiencies.

We should give ourselves time for the necessaria naturae, the needs of our body.

We should adjust to unfolding change over time.
