[R] sleep data

[Martin Maechler]

Thank you, Chuck and Tom.

I'd gladly improve the help page,

particularly if you can provide a patch against

https://svn.R-project.org/R/trunk/src/library/datasets/man/sleep.Rd

where I've already added the Cushny and Peebles reference,
thanks to Chuck.

Regards,
Martin Maechler, ETH Zurich
