Sleep is IL wonderland. Let us explore
it. Self-hypnotism is IL mysterious

fists. We all, on certain nights, tell
ourselves firmly that we must nos over
sleep, that the next morning at 4, at j
or 6 precsely---wc must wake up. And
we do wake up. Our sleeping selves
respond to the hypnotic suggestion
made the night before by our waking
selves. That is mysterious and strik-
ing. isn't it? Still more mysterious
and striking though, is the iact Of our
keeping track of the time somehow in
