The Hygiene
of Sleep
BY Brice Relden. N. D.

CLIGHT elevation of the head
fsvors sleep, since it lessons
the pressure of blood in the
brain. Use a reasonably hard mat
tress. The feather bed is a most
-unhygienic thing.
The heart and lungs are much less
active during sleep than in the
wide-awake period, and, therefore, a
diminished amount of air is con-
sumed. Consequently it is most i'm
portant that such air as is consumed
should be fresh. II too little oxygen
is taken in one is not refreshe,r by
his sleep.
A sleeping room should never be
smaller than seven feet square and
ten feet high. In other words, 500
cubic feet of space is about the
minimum. But the air in such a
room must be changed sufficiently
often 10 insure the passage through
it of 5000 cubic feet OF air each hour.
This means widely opened windows
during sleep. iC one is TO maintain
his health properly.
There can be- no doubt that very
many cases OF anemia, headache,
loss OF appetite, loss OF pep, and
neurasthenia are due TO oxygen
starvation during sleep. One may
get a good deal OF oxygen during
ones walking moments and yet not
feel particularly well If the sleep
ing habits are bad, with respect to
ventilation.
OF course. il one is cooped up
during the day, say in the average
office, and then suffers in addition
from oxygen starvation at night,
the results are sure to be bad.
Proper ventilation OF the quarters
in which one sleeps will enable one
to defy successfully tho effects OF
indoor life in-the business districts
II ono suffers from insomnia the
cause must be ascertained and dealt
with. No drugs should be tinkered
With. Hypnotics depress the heart
and nervous system and have no
effect upon the cause Of the in

leads easily to a pernicious habit

Office

. o women who have never been
in business il is a source OF
perpetual wonder why so
many girls, Occupying nice office
positions" should so often be physi-
cally exhausted at the end of the
day.
Office work seems vaguely some
thing refined" that pays nicely
but does not require any muscular
effort. An esthetic headache or in
teresting dark rings under the eyes
are permissible to the office worker.
whose mental efforts are supposed
to leave occasional physical marks.
But wrists and arms and back and
feet that ache-just like any fac
tory operators-these are far from
the dreams of the young business
school graduate.
Now, this theory is not popular,
but it is absolutely true, that most
office jobs that women hold are just
as exhaustive as any factory work.
Pounding typewriter machine all
day long, lifting lodges or index
drawers, make just as great de-
mands on the physidue as operating
a power sewing machine, cutting
dies or pasting labels on boxes.
1t is a mistake foP<the girl in
delicate health to select office work
because IL is easier than any other
occupation. She may seek long and
earnestly for AN easy job" but it's
windfall, more or less mythical
and, no matter what her work is.
there will always be some muscular
EFFORT attached to it
1t should be part OF every
workers training, both for the
office and any other kind Of bust
eness, to know how to eliminate the
things that make for unnecessary
fatigue. We are all more or less
familiar with the work OF the ef-
ficiency experts, men or women
who study working conditions in
factory, shop or office, and by rear
ranging processes Of work or work
ing tools, methods and so forth are
able to eliminate a great deal of
unnecessary fatigue.
But this is not an occult study.
Many people, without counsel, but
with considerable common sense of
their own, have changed their work
ing conditions in simple ways to
make il easier for themselves. And
I believe that il is just as neceg-
sary a part of business education
to be able to standardize conditions
tS make daily work easier as TO
learn how TO work a typewriter.
