Sleep and Altitude.

Some Swiss doctors maintain that
the amount Of sleep should be regu-
lated by altitude. Too much sleep,
they say, is as harmful as too much
food or drink. In low lying districts
seven hours slumber may be enjoyed
with impunity, but up in the noun
tains five hours is enough. These sleep
specialists also ban the practice of
remaining in bed In the morning, half
awake, and insist on the necessity of
rising as soon as sleep fails. AS a re-
suit of their pronouncements endeay-
ors have been made to form sleeping
societies in Switzerland for the pur-
pose of regulating the amount OF sleep
TO be taken in the different disti lets.
