Everyday Psychology

pr On. Jesse W. srKowIs.


We spend about a third Of our time
sleeping. Some think this is too great
sacrifice Of time. One investigator
holds that an average of hours out
of the "a Is suf1cient, and he even
hints that this amount might be re-
duced without inconvenience.
The important supposed causes OF
sleep are:
i. A lessening of the normal bloed
supply to the brain. This Is a purely
physiological process.
2. An accumulation of fatigue poi
sons, which lower the excitability Of
the nerves. Another physiological
process.
s. An instinct inherited from the
race. the purpose of which is to avoid
fatigue. Accordingly, sleep is a racial
habit.
1. A subtle habit of getting nervous
and the companion habit Of sleeping
it OF.
S. A psychological flight from
reality" When a person is uncon-
scious he has withdrawn from the
world of things into the world Of self.
s. A fancied return to the prenatal
state Of existence, for the purpose of
being born again. To sleep is to be-
come temporarily child again.
In a psychological sense, reduction In
the time spent in sleep Is possible. To
do this one needs to acquire the habit
of sleeping soundly. It is Just the
same thing as concentrating your at
tention on something Of absorbing ins
terest, except that you must concen-
trate on non-concentrating.
