NEED FOR SLEEP.
The Most Important Compensation
for All Effects of Fatigue.

The Most important Compensation
for All Effects of Fatigue.
From the Popular Science Monthly.
By far the most important compensation
for all effects of fatigue is sleep. Every
body. even the man mentally most inert,
develops when awake a mass Of mental ef-
fort which he cannot afford continuously
without suffering. We need. therefore.
regularly recurring periods in which the
consumption Of mental force shall be slower
than the continuous replacement The lower
the degree to which the activity OF the brain
sinks then the more rapid and more COM
plete the recovery.
The mental vigor Of most men is usually
maintained at q certain height for the long
est time in the forenoon. Evidences OF IA
tigue come on later at this time OF day
than in the evening, when the store of
erably drawn upon by the whole days work.
If no recovery by sleep is enjoyed. or it is
imperfect, the consequences will invariably
make themselves evident the next day in a
depression Of mental vigor as we'll as In a
rise in the personal susceptibility to ia
tigue. The rapidity with which one Of the
persons 1 experimented upon could perform
his tasks in addition sank about third
after a nights journey by railway with in
sufficient sleep. Another experimenter
could detect the effects of keeping himself
awake all night in a gradual decrease Of
yigor lasting through four days. This OBJ
seryation was all the more surprising be-
cause the subject was not conscious Of the
long duration Of the disturbance and was
first made aware Of it incidentally by the
results of continued measurements on the
causes Of the manifestations Of fatigue.
