Trying the alternate method.... I'll need help interpreting these.
The Hobbit was fairly obvious:

"A little sleep does a great cure in the house of Elrond," said he; "But I will take all the cure I can get. A second good night, fair friends!" And with that he went back to bed and slept till late morning.

I like to sleep. I like to sleep till late morning, or late afternoon, or really, anytime. The only time I don't actually sleep is at night or most evenings. So, this is quite clearly an indication that my hours are not going to be changing anytime soon.
But the others strike me as a bit cryptic:

LotR
So now Lord Faramir had gone forth again, and had taken with him such strength of men as were willing to go or could be spared. On the walls some gazed through the gloom towards the ruined city, and they wondered what chanced there, for nothing could be seen. And others, as ever, looked north and counted the leagues to Theoden in Rohan. "Will he come? Will he remember our old alliance?" they said.
Sil
Galadriel indeed had wished that Mithrandir should be the head of the Council, and Saruman begrudged them that, for his pride and desire of mastery was grown great; but Mithrandir refused the office, since he would have no ties and no allegiance, save to those who sent him, and he would abide in no place nor be subject to any summons. But Saruman now began to study the lore of the Rings of Power, their making and their history.

And so it was that the dragon, charging down the line, suddenly saw straight in front of him his old enemy with Tailbiter in his hand. It was the last thing he expected. He swerved aside like a great bat and collapsed on the hillside close to the road. Up came the grey mare, quite forgetting to walk lame. Farmer Giles, much encouraged, had scrambled hastily on her back.
