GALAXY,
How We 90 to Sleep.-.The immediate
antecedents ofsleep-asl anguor,a sensation
of weight of the upper eyelids, partial tenn
porary relaxation in certain muscles, as
shown by the nOdding and dropping of the
head upon the breast, comparative obtuse-
ness to external Impressions, etcs-calt for
| no special remark. The order in Which the
muscles lose their power is, however, de-
serving of q passing notice. The muscles
which move the arms and legs usually be-
come relaxed before those which support
the head, and the latter before those which
maintain the body in an erect position.
There are, however, many exceptions to
this rule, rs may be seen in church on o
hot Sunday, when. some of the cOngrega-
ton are almost certain to be seen with
their chins quietly resting on their chests,
but yet tightly grasping their prayer books.
Moreover, in relation to the special senses,
that of sight is the first lost, the closing o.
the eyelids setting up barrier between the
retina and the external world but indie
pendently of the eyelids-if they have been
removed by the surgeon, or cannot be
the first sense whose function is abolished. |
Some animals, as the hare, do not shut |
their eyes when asleep; and in cases of |
somnambulism the eyes remain open, al |
though the sense of sight is temporarily !
lost. The other senses, as DR.. Hammond !
tells us, are not altogether abolished; but
their acuteness is much lessened. Taste is
the first to disappear, and then smell
nearing follows, and touch is the most per-
slstent OF the senses. So, conversely,
person is most easily awakened by tactual
expressions, next in order by sounds, and
then by smell.
