Women are mere subject % wakeful-
ness than men, rs they are kept awake
by crying babies, and If any of the fam
lily are sick it is expected that they must
attend to every want by night and day.
The habit of sleeping little becomes
fixed, aud the circulating part Of the
head weakened, making it almost impos-
sible to obtain rest, and the case ends
with total loss of sleep, or the person
dies from an Inflammation or congestion
of the head. The fact has been demon
strated by DR.. Hammond and other med
ical men that wakefulness is duo TO an
increased amount of blood in the brain.
The patient may not be conscious of this,
beyond feeling of dullness and an in
ability to express himself readily, yet
tho fact can be proved if he will observe
all the occasional causes of wakefulness.
The plan of treatment varies accord
Ing to the causes. If the person is Sleep
less from mental excitement and over
study it is certain the blood should be
called away to other parts Of the body
by suitable exercise, and avoidance of
disturbing agents, but if on the other
hand the wakefulness proceeds from over
work in the heat day after day until the
powers of sleep are weakened it ia plain
that different course must be adopted.
Although in persons of full habit bleed.
ing is recommended, yet spare diet,
and but little exercise, will after while
reduce the amount of blood In the sys7\
tenn to healthy equilibrium. The p9s
tient should avoid violent and long con-
tinued exercise, especially in the heat,
and also exposure to severe cold, for
when the body is exposed to cold the
blood is driven into the interior vessels.
Another point 10 to keep the bowels and
pores of the skin open. Suppression of
sweat is frequent cause of wakefulness
in the autumn season. above all sleep
as long as you can. More are injured by
too little than by too much aleep.
DR.. Cuyler writes of student who
says: II shall never forget the fearful
earnestness with which q beloved college
instructor warned me on my departure
for Andover, to beware of refusing to
take too much sleep. Said he: when
was at Andover would often sit up all
night to study, and my usual custom
was never to 60 to bed before two in the
morning. What has been the conse-
quence3 Nature has taken her revenge;
for the past ten years I have never known
what it is to be sleepy, save when under
the influence of drugs, and you know
how have been crippled by broken
health.'" This 10 only an instance of many
similar cases. and should teach US caution.
