Position and Sleep.

The position affects sleep. A con- strained position generally prevents re- pose, while a comfortable one wooes sleep. Lying flat on the back, with the limbs relaxed, would seem to secure the greatest amount of rest for the muscu- lar system. This is the position assumed in the most exhausting diseases, and it is generally hailed as a token of revival when patient voluntarily turns on the side. But there are several disadvan tages in the supine posture which inn pair or embarrass sleep. Thus in disor- dered conditions of the stomach the blood seems to gravitate to the back of the head and to produce troublesome dreams
 Nearly all who are inclined to snore do so when lying on the back, because the soft palate and uvula hang on the tongue, and that organ falls back so as partly to close the top of the wind pipe. It is better, therefore, to lie on the side, and, in the absence of special disease rendering it desirable to lie on the weak side so as to leave the healthy lung free to expand, it is well to use the right side, because when the body is thus placed the food gravitates more easily out of the stomach, and the weight of the stomach does not com press the upper portion of the intes- tines A glance at any of the visceral anatomy will show this must be so.- Exchange
