H' Thoro Is no ndrquato suppott for Hi 'th9 Impression Hint the early ipomlng PPH.i hours are In nny way moro wliolo-onia Hj or healthy than lator j.erloils of the PHf day.

I have been observing my frl sds and patients for the past 20 K years In this respect, and am Inclined K to the opinion that not a little of tho B depression and nervousness which tj commonly develop In hot weather Is ft due to excesslvo exposure to light, f from habits of early rising, Inherited J from agricultural ancestors, not coun. J teracted by three to four hours' rest ftS in .darkened rooms In the middle of the day, Secondly, that tho exhilaration ox- ftS perlenced during the early morning ' hours Is an expensive luxury which J has to bo paid for. later In tho day. In f-"t, I have found that as n general rule, to put It very roughly, Hie bust- ftVJ ness or professional man a ho rises Jl an hour before 7:30 or S goes to Jj bod, or losoi U'.s ivnrtlng power, ftVj an hour nnd a half earlier In tho H evening. Each Individual has In the beginning of his day about so Jl nr .h working power stored up in his brain and mueclo cells. If ho uses this up with great rapidity In tho ft 'ar'y morning hours he naturally ox- i haunts his stock the sooner In the afternoon. It Is largely a matter of when a J man wishes to bo nt his best. If his J occupation is of such a character that J he , can cloar off tho brunt of his work In the early morning hours, then let him rlso early, It on the other J hand ho rcjulres full vigor and roadl- ness of mind and body In the latter part of the day, or at night, then ho must rise later to got It. Even J: in Pare musclo work It Is false ccon- omy to work too long hours. Amor- lean Magazine |
