SOME FACTS ABOUT SLEEP
Caused by q Withdrawal cf Blood
From the Brain, Says Mo Tern
Psychology.

An the organs OF life rest In some
way or other. The heart has an In
terval OF rest between each combined
act or contraction and expansion and
the beginning of a fresh act. Be-
tween sarh expiration Of the lungs
and the succeeding inspiration there
Ia period Of repose Psychologists
have calculated that the heart re-
poses during about one fourth OF the
time. 500
Certain Of the other organs suspend
their activity In part during sleep
Old psychologists supposed that sleep
was caused BY the pressure of the
blood on the brain. But modern
physiologys with tendency to regard
the brain Al the origin OF all force
and Of ALL functions or the body, in.
clines to the view that sleep il
caused by Anwfthdrawal of blood from
the brain.
Asa rule, the larger the brain the
more sleep 1T requires. Webster went
ito bed at nine o'clock and rose at
snve. General Grant used to say, dur
ling his campaigns, 81 can do moth
Ding without nine hours sleep"
