Alden Tells
Art of Getting
To Sleep
BY TALBOT LAKE

IT SEEMS that somebody can al
i ways make money out Of your
troubles, so they are good for some
thing anyway. Because so many
people suffer insomnia these days.
Martha Alden Is employed by Pc
quot Mills. who grind out bed sheets.
as a conSultant on sleep.
She got the Job as q result OF
having taken q course in textiles
In the home economics section at
Purdue University. Still In her early
twenties, Miss Alden sleeps pretty
well herself. She started out In
Cleveland as a shopper after getting
her college degree, specializing In
textiles. Like many people she
figured New York would offer more
opportunities than others. In her
case, she was right. PeQuot hired
her to learn sheet selling and shop
ping.
After a while lots Of letters came
In from people who wanted to know
how to sleep. Now she goes round
the country telling women's clubs
how to 60 to sleep.
MIS- Alden says you shouldn't
count sheep-it makes you think Of
business troubles. You shouldn't use
q lot Of sleep gadgets like ear plugs.
eye shades-it starts you off with
q psychological "set," the wrong
frame Of mind. You can take a hot
teddy and q book, though.
Her Snoozerinity suggests that
the more restful your day. the bet
ter night you'll have. Just don't
read the headlines and listen to all
the war news and swing programs.
There are "go-to-sleep" exercises
like the Cat Stretch and Grand
Salaam, which our sleeping beauty
recommends. Sometimes Poop e
write her and give bright ideas for
sheets.
One recommended zippered holes
In the sheet for the head and arms,
so you could wear 1t like q serape
to the bath In the morning. Another
nit-wit wanted q sheet with poe
kets, for holding handkerchiefs.
gum. candy. cigarettes and baseball
score cards. Somebody else, bored
with bed. wanted checkerboardS
printed on sheets.
