Y., Mar. 13.—(AP) —The sleep habits of 509 disting- juished American mer were. made public at Colgate university today jand upset some popular notions. | The critical-age when it is unsafe to lose sleep is 35. ‘Contrary to ‘classical anecdotes, men of import- ant affairs sleep about the full eight hours. It is youth instead of age that sleeps the least. Then that old fashioned way of getting to sleep by counting sheep jumping a wall is as out of date as Mary’s lamb. Not that the funda- mental me! has changed but to- day only a sheep herder should pick on the dream sheep. For the rest of us there are more effective sleep potions. The survey was made by Dr. Don- lald A. Laird, director of the Col- gate university psychological labora- tory. The ages of the men ranged from 20 to 95 and some gave permis- sion to disclose their identities. One 95 year old subject is Brigadier Gen- eral Aaron 8. Daggett, U.

At 85 the sleeping time is 8 hours 10 minutes. Wakefuiness at night, however, is ive of age. At 25 years y told Dr. Laird they sleep through the night without awakening. A uniform increase in wakefulness follows with age and in} the 95 to 100 year’ age bracket ‘wakefulness was reported each night. ‘Special Techniques’ More than 70 per cent reported sufficient difficulty in going to sleep to cause them to develop “special techniques.” Thought control was used by 33 per cent; reading by 25 per cent, relaxation by 18 per cent; drugs not including alcohol by 3 per cent, alcohol by two per cent. large number of unusual \- i . |ducing sleep.
