Do You Get Your Beauty sIeep7


AS race we sleep too little. An
infants life Is nearly all sleep, Grad
ually as the child grows older the
hours Of sleep are shortened to half
the day, or about eight hours.
Youth until the age of twenty is
reached requires fully ten hours sleep.
Although nature demands fewer hours
of sleep In summer than in winter, 1t
has been proved that eight hours OF
sleep are required for theaverage adult
In good health.
BY this Is meant not simply eight
hours In bed, but that amount Of good,
sound. restful sleep night after night.
Our power to work Is intimately re-
lated to our ability to sleep, and there
Is no more reliable indication of sound
health than the capacity to sleep natu-
rally. and the more active and ener,
gc.ic The waking life the deeper the
sleep.
