SLEEP AFTER EATING.
From "A I.ectul e Isy DR.. j. ii. Kellogg, Bat.
tie Creek, Mich.

From Lectu, e Isy Dr. j. II. Kellogg, Bat.
tie Creek, Mich.
1t has been demonstrated by physio-
logical research and experiment that
digestion is less active and rapid during
sleep than during waking hoIrs when
the brain is active. A wide awake
brain is necessary for active digestion.
The pneumogastric nerve which runs
from the brain to the stomach, largely
controls digestive processes, and In
order that the stomach shall do its
work thoroughly, the brain must be
awake to do it's part. 1t is often argued
by those who favor an after dinner
sicsta that the lower animals eat and
go imme ediately to sleep, but l have ex-
perimented and studied into the sub
ject for years and am convinced that
this is not usually true, and evcn if it
were, it proves nothing. for an animal
is not called upon to support great
amount of mentality beyond that which
is necessary to maintain its existence.
The cow often lies down ani with
closed eyes, "chews the cud of refiec-
tion," but she is not asleep. Che wing
is not an involuntary effort, and wheE
she really goes to sleep, she stops
chewing. The dog which lies down
behind the stove after taking his
dinner is not asleep, no matter
if his eyes are closed. Let
some one come in with whom he is not
acquainted and see how wide-awa'le he
is; if the person belongs to the house, he
will open one eye to sec who it is, bat
at any suspicious noise or the entrance
of Il stranger, he viii demonstrates that
his senses are alert not locked in
slumbcr. If the house dog really does
go to sleep, after eating a hearty mea'.
he has the nightmare nnd will bark or
growl-perhaps will cream that he is
fighting with another dog Nightmare
is a state of muscular stupcfaction, at
tended with frightful dreams. 1t is
caused by indigestion and consequent
irritation of the nervous system, which
disturbance is communicated to the
brain. When lying on the back the
weight of full stomach may impede
the circulation of blood in the large
bloodvcssels which lie just back of the
stomach and also produce nightmare
