If you wish to be assured of a restful night's sleep, you should make this wish as you turn out the light:
'From ghillies and ghosties
And long-legged beasties,
And things that go bump in the night-
Good Lord, deliver us.'
The 'ides' of the ancient Roman calendar fell on the 15th days of March, May, July and October, and on the 13th days of the other months. Within one hour after midnight of an ides, and before speaking to anyone, you should cross your arms on your chest, touch each shoulder with the opposite hand, and silently make a wish, repeating it in your mind three times; then lightly nod your head three times before taking your arms out of the crossed position.
The quotation 'Beware the Ides of March' is from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. This wishing custom may have derived as a counteraction to the danger implied by the Shakespearean reference.
