Contextual Overview
30I went by the field of the lazy man, And by the vineyard of the man lacking understanding and common sense; 31And, behold, it was all overgrown with thorns, And nettles were covering its surface, And its stone wall was broken down. 32When I saw, I considered it well; I looked and received instruction. 33"Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to rest [and daydream],"34Then your poverty will come as a robber, And your want like an armed man.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
[Yet] a little sleep, a little slumber,.... The sight of the field and vineyard of the slothful put Solomon in mind of an observation he had made before, which fitly describes the disposition and gesture of the sluggard, by which means his field and vineyard came to ruin; while he should be up and tilling his field and planting his vineyard, he is in his bed; and awaking, instead of rising, craves for and indulges himself in another little doze, and which he repeats again and again;
a little folding of the hands to sleep; which ought to have been employed another way; :-.
