Show Facts as to Sleep. A recent investigation into the characteristics char-acteristics of sleep quoted by Professor Profes-sor Jastrow of England reveals a striking strik-ing division of sleep conditions between- the sexes. At the same time it shows that people, as a whole, vary little from the average, and that most people sleep in about the same way. People who are troubled sleepers sleep-ers really get as much sleep, but they do so more jerkily. The first quarter of a night's sleep , possesses more rest than all the remaining re-maining three-quarters put together. This gives a scientific reason for the old proverb, "An hour's sleep before midnight is worth t.-.YO hours after." Not that midnight h-.s anything to do with it, but that the worth of sleep does lie in the first part of It, and ia early times nearly every one was in bed a couple hours before midnight. |
