Mystery of Sleep

Science has evolved drugs that will
put one to sleep, but just what It is
that brings natural sleep is as great a
mystery today as 1t was to the cave
man VINO curled up on his rock mat
tress, with his flowing beard spread
over him for quilt.
It is commentary on human ma
ture that we are more particular
about our food than we are about reg
ular hours of sleep. yet it is q fact,
definitely established, that 1t is pos
sible to live much longer without food
than without the benign embrace of
Morpheus.
