How. ana How Long to sleep.

1t is often q question among persons
who are acquainted with the anatomy
and physiology of man, whether lying
with the head exalted, or even with the
body, is the most wholesome. Most,
consulting their own ease on this point,
argue in favor Of that which they prefer.
Now, although many delight in bolster
ing up their heads all night, and sleep
soundly without injury, yet we declare
it to be q dangerous habit. The vessels
through which the blood passes from
the head to the heart, are always loosen
ed in their cavities when the head is
resting in bed higher than the body;
therefore in all cases attended with
fever, the head should be nearly on a
level with the body; and people ought
to accustom themselves to sleep thus, to
avoid danger.-Med. Journal.
Do you know how much sleep you
neede Note when you usually go to
sleep and about when you usually wake
up, and count the time. Few people
get along well as a rule, on less than
seven hours sleep; few require ten hours.
As an average most persons need eight
or nine hours OF sleep. If you sleep
eight or nine hours and get up tired
and depressed, very likely you are sleep

what number Of hours you feel best and

kills as surely, though more slowly.
than loss of food. A recent medical
writer has said: 'The value Of sleep to
brain-workers cannot be exaggerated.
In 8 recent lecture DR.. Malins, famous
English physician, said that the brain
REQUIRES twelve hours of sleep at four
years old, gradually diminishing by
hours and half hours to ten hours at
fourteen, and thence TO eight hours
when the body is full grown and formed.
Goethe, in his most active productive
period, needed nine hours and took
them; Kant, the most iaborious of stu
dents, was strict in never taking less
than seven. Nor does it appear that
those who have systematically tried to
cheat nature of this chief right have
been, in any sense, gamers of time for
their work. 1t may be a paradox, but
it is not the less Of truth, and what is
given to sleep is gained to labor"
