SLEEPING AFTER MEALS.
A Widespread but Mistaken Belicf-Rc
In, thu ISrnil,

A Widespread but Mistaken Bclicf-Rcst
for the Brain.
There is n widespread superstition, cher
ishcl by the great majority of the people,
that to sleep Immediately after they have
taken food is to cndanger health, to favor
the onset of aponlexy, ctc.-a superstition
based on the assumption that during sleep
tho brain is normally congcsted. There is,
no doubt, such a thing us congestivc sleep.
hut during normal sleep the brain is annmir.
When a person has taken II fairly abundant
lunch or dinner the stomach demands a
special influx of blood wlercwith to accom-
plish its work of digestion; no organ can
moro easily comply with that demand than
the brain, which, when in ull activity, is
sufrilsel with Il maximum amount OF the
vital fluid.
But a derivation of blood from tho brain
to the stomach can only take place, except in
exceptionally full blooded and vigorous per
SONS. on the condition that the cerebral func-
tons he meanwhile partially or wholly slS-
pended. Hence many people after taking
dinner feel i%ndisposed for mental action, and
not u few long for sleep. The already par
tally annmic brain would fain yield III
to the stomach a still further supply
of blood and yield itself up to re
freshing sleep. Doing SO it gains new
strength: meanwhile digestion proceeds IL
crgetically. and soon body and mind art
again equipped to continue in full force thu
battle of life. But superstition, the child o
ignorance. intervenes. declares that sleel
during digestion is dangerous, admonishe
