SLEEP is OF GREAT
IMPORTANCE TO ALL
(By DIR. A. R. Lewis, State Health
Commissioner

(By DIR. A. r. Lewis, State Health
COMMISSIONER
When the veterans of Napoleon
were sent to conquer the forces of
LOuverture in Haiti, this willy mill
tary leader realized that with an
army of less than one-fifth the num-
ber of the French he could not ven
ture battle. But he could keep them
awake. And he did Night after
night as soon as the French troops
got to sleep small detachments of
LOuverture's troops made a feint of
attacking them. and within a few
weeks Napoleon's army of 10000,
without single engagement in the
the field, was reduced to less than
5000 effectives by lack of sleep.
School children, business men and
women, quite as we'll as soldiers can
not be expected to do efficient work
if they do not have sufficient sleep.
Some one has aptly said that "Sleep
recharges the batteries of life. Sleep
is one of Natures great restora-
tees"
The person or child who habitually
shortens his hours Of sleep, whether
on account of business, or in the pur-
suit of pleasure, is constantly de-
pleting his nervous energy.
One has but to observe the great
number of small children taken to
amusement places or playing upon
the street long after they should be
in bed, to realize the dangerous ten
dency of people Of the present day to
curtail the hours that should be de-
voted to sleep, not only of them
selves but of their children.
Sleep is largely a matter of habit
it does not follow that the loss of
sleep is any the less harmful in the
final summing up. The average
young mother is quite averse tc
sacrificing any social pleasure to
the establishing of a regular and
early bedtime for her child. But il
is matter of little doubt to think.
ing people that the present genera.
tion of children will face a tremen'
dous deficit of vital energy at ma
turity.
Up to six years of age a chilt
should sleep not less than twelve
hours out of the "a. Children from
eight to ten should have eleven hours
of sleep; children from eleven tC
fourteen require ten hours; young
people of fifteen should have min,
and half hours, and from sixteel
to eighteen years, nine hours. Th
average adult requires eight hours.
The quality of sleep is quite a.
essential as its quantity. 1t is quite
useless to expect a child, or a grow
person either, to sleep restfully in ;
room that is poorly ventilated. To-
little or too much covering disturb
the sleep. The eating of a heav!
meal just before retiring, the ,wronl
combination of food, or the drinking
of tea or coffee all affect the qualit.
of sleep if not it's quantity.
Each child should have its owl
bed if possible. Certainly a chill
should never sleep in the bed with al
adult.
Teachers continually complain
that pupils are inattentive becaus
of lack of sleep. The late hours o
the child today will prove a grea
detriment to his physical, mental an
moral growth.
