Take the case of a man who cannot sleep at night, or rather, who, having fallen asleep, wakes. If he is what is called strong-mindtd, he thinks, or perhaps reads, and falls asleep again. The re tltion of this lays the foundation of a abit of awakening in the night, and thinkln or reading to induce sleep, and habitua sleeplessness occurs, for which remedies are sought, and mischief ls done. “ When we are weary, we ought to sleep; end when we woke, we ehould at up, There is no hebit more vicious then opting meee. nres to keep eweke, or employing artifices, or, still worse, reacrting to drugs and other devices, to induce or prolon sleep. Dozing is the very demcrellzetion o the sleep func- tion, and from that pernicious habit arises much of the so-cslled sleepleasneseâ€"more accurately, wakefulnessâ€"from which multit- udes sufler. Instead of trying to ley down arbitrary rules as to the length of sleep. it would be wiser to any : Work while it is day; sleep when you are weary, which will be at night, if the day he been spent in honest and energetic labor. When you awake, rise; and if the previous day’s work has been anili- ciently well done, the time of waking will not be earlier than sunrise. There ls no common error more productive of mischief then the belief in the harmless- ness of slee producing drugs. The supposi~ tion that s eep under the influence of a med- icine of any sort, is a substitute for natural sleep, is s mistsken one. Remedies of this sort must sometimes be used, but their hsb- itunl em loyment is most mischievous.
