Show WHY ONE 13 flLEEPY. Many Hypotheses Are Advanced by the Scientists. Scientists dlsa(re as to tho cause of drowsiness. Some curious and remarkable re-markable reasons are Resinned for the desire everybody has for sleeping. It l attributed by Mime people to an accumulation In the atetem ot the poisonous products of the wear and tear of the bod) durlnc the day. There seems to be some measure ol truth In this for In many dlteaief the patients are often sleepless. Another An-other iDpothcsIs Is that the nerts cells of the brain dwell apart from each other, as It were, during sleep. Tho brain Is composed of millions ol tiny lHkllea called cells, each havlna; scleral dillcale prolongation", of branches, for the purpose of communicating communi-cating ttlth other cells. When tho brain Is full) aclho all these cells are In contact, or ready to be In contact, with one another, but tho tlmo occasionally oc-casionally comes, It Is thought, when tho branches of all tbo cells curl tip, and their Isolation means that complete com-plete communication between tho cells ceases. The state of body and mini that follows Is what wo call sleep. Tho molt probable explanation of sleep, however. Is that In lomo way or other tho Internal -condition of tho cells Is channel!, partly from exbnui Hon nnd partly became of diminished stimulation from other parti of the body. |
