I can only deal with physical dis- order when it {is evident that such paysical disorder is the outcome of mental disorganisation, Of course mind and body are closely interre- lated, and it is surprising how man physical disorders are due to the lack of straight, positive, and constructive thinking. There are really very few people who have been trained to think 'properly, and it 1s this fact that gives rise for the need of the psychologist and what service he can render. Now, then, to come back to this matter of sleep, There are sonie folks, who can get along nicely on much less gleep-than others, Of course, there is nothing, perhaps, that is' more trouble- somé and annoying than to lie awake for hours in the night with the mind running riot. Someone has aptly called those hours of wakefulness "The Cruel Hours". ; Let it be remembered, however, that the mind is only half awake dur- ing those hours. One should therefore not be unduly disturbed by the wild thoughts which ~ rush through the mind in quick succession during such sleepless hours.
