In the election of 1888, Benjamin Harrison was most concerned about the results from his home state of Indiana. When those results were announced around 11 p.m., he went to bed without knowing the final returns from the other states. In the morning, a friend congratulated him on his victory, and then inquired why he went to bed so early. To which Harrison replied, "I knew that my staying up would not alter the result if I was defeated, while if I was elected I had a hard day in front of me. So a good night's rest seemed the best in either event."
