Mystery of slumber.
indianapolis Star.

indianapolis Star.
! While it is true no one knows
exactly what sleep is, some curl
GUS facts have been discovered
about it lately. For example,
when we sleep the lower hall OF
US weighs more than the upper
halfl-the brain is lighter and the
legs heavier. Experiments have
shown that if a man goes to
sleep on a he'd suspended exactly
at the middle point OF his weight
his head begins to tip slowly up
and his feet to 60 down. When
he awakens it is to find that his
head is getting nearer and near
er the ceiling and his feet nearer
the fl O or. This is due to t h e
fact that when we are asleep the
blood in the brain goes off to
other parts Of the body. The mo.
ment the brain awakes to life a.
gain it draws ihe blood back. In
fact, the physician can give sleep
to the most restless individual in
a few minutes by tightly COM
pressing the great arteries in the
neck that carry blood to t b e
brain.
Our sense OF time ID stronger
when we are asleep than when we
are awake. Experiments ccnduc-
ted some years ago on a mum.
Der OF men and women between
the ages of twenty and thirty
showed that 60 per cent of them
were able to wake up in the NOR
ming at any time they had deci-
ded upon the night hefore. The
resolve seems to wind up a little
clock in the sub-conscious brain.
When the hour arrives the clock
gives the alarm in some mysteri-
GUS way to the day shift OF the
brain and the eyelids open. Then
the night shift goes to sleep in
turn, or at least the clock does
not seem to work in the day.
time. You can test this by resol-
wing to look at your watch some
morning at 1920. Ii is a hum
