OVER-SLEEPING AND UNDER-SLEEPING, WITH AN INDIANA INSOMNIAC AS A TEXT. An Indianapolis cespateh to The World told how a fat man living not far from there had fallen into an incurable habit of sleep- Jessness, The habit s heen growing upon him for several years, until now he is, so he f Wanerunyess, fw leges, in a period of sleeplessness that has Grewreeerereereewes Jisted seventy-three days. Of course this on Like And ne of his senses are awake others are asleep. There are thousards of human being e fat citizen of Indiana is mistaken. many insomniacs he devs not know when he has been asleep. no doubt often when ge s that are never wholly tems. Why not now und then a human being who is never wholly asleep? What is the matter with the Indian: Has he looked ints the question of diet? The greatest cause of ing. To fill up the stomach produces a momen- tary sensation of sleepiness. Once the process of digestion or attempted digestion is under way, the sensation of stupor is sueceeded hy a sensation of wakefulness. And if the stomach is unable to take care of the food that has Leen stuffed into it it will keep the entire body awake, the man perhaps having no pain to give him a elue to the reason for his insomnia. insomnia is over- Every once in a while you come upon a man who says that he gets hungry in the night and has to eat to put himself to sleep again. Such a man is invariably mistaken as to the cause of his wakefulne: That cause is not his own hunger, but the hunger of a multitude of ptomaines, bred in his stomach by over-indulgence in food. And when he arises and ents it is merely to feed and breed ptomaines. cee eee iF THOSE WHo RISE IN ‘TI NIGHT TO EAT. gree e eee ene th A little travelling along this line of truth will give you a proper cians who opinion of the sense and skill of those so-called ph recommend more eating and more frequent meals as cures for indi- gestion, “that hungry feeling,” “that tired feeling,” insomnia and all the other ills that follow in the train of over-indulgence in food. But far more numerous than the insomnines are the victims to over-indulgenco in sleep. y Taking the civilized part of the race as a whole there is vastly too much sleeping done. When one considers the shortness of life and the great amount of time that must be spent in trifles which give neither pleasure nor @ oy AN OVER- IMOKED CLASS OF SUFFERERS. « profit, to waste time in over-sleeping is seen to be a very serious matter. Sleeping is a habit, precisely as eating is a habit; that ts, it is in part a necessity and in part a most expensive luxury. Henry of Navarre said: “T have noticed that men who are great sleepers and great enters are rarely great at anything else.” Few indeed of the great men of the world have been great sleepers. The most of them have gone on an allowance of sleep that seems incredibly short. For instance, Frederick the Great with his four hours a night for practically his entire reign. And the reason that some of them have broken down at the carly age of sixty or sixty-five is to be found not in under-sleeping but in over-eating.- For many a man who is sensible about sleep is weak and vielding when he seats himself at the table. To this it must be added that women do well to sleep a long time. Nine or ten hours’ sleep a night for a woman is not luxury, but investment. A 0 surplus* of sleep will preserve in a woman that rounded appearance of youth which is of the highest practical value Ine whatever to a man. to her, but is of nov At the same time, she must be careful to avoid the sleep that produces fatness of bedy and mind, To realize how prevalent is the habit of over-sleeping, it is only necessary to note how those men who use up their powers in the least exhausting wavs—that is. in exercising the museles—are the mightiest sleepers, while those men who use brains and nerves most as a rule sleep the least. A horse takes only four hours or tive; a laborer or a fox-hunter takes fifteen, if he can get them; a man of affairs is content with seven, or, at most, cight. If the body is properly used it dees not need a prolonged period of the form of reenperation called sleep, [f it is abused, whether by sluggishness or by Jissipation, it does necd a great deal of sleep, so much that it impatiently hastens on to the long, long sleep. Don't imagine that you need nine or ten hours’ sleep just be- \ cause you have got vourself into the bad habit of over-sleeping. v IT'S MONEY LOST. , voor sont, | “Archi KwatorcThoy” saytime® ts) money. ure'x frozen munte, you know.
