LENGTH OF SLEEP
(Own Correspondent-
Five Hours Is Dream of Future
-By Air MailL
LONDON, April 22. The average person in qnother twenty-five years will be able to manage on five or six hours' rest a night instead of the seven or eight necessary at present. This is the belief of a psychologist who talked to me yesterday about Professor John Hilton 's -statement that Lord Nuffield sleeps only one hour » month. "To-day, people are harassed not by one or two problems bnt by many. They are continually thinking about them, and when they become sleepy their minds are confnsed instead ot composed. "I don't think Lord Nuffield, or anybody else, can geti along with one hour's sleep a month. But there are degrees of sleep; Mr. Hilton probablv meant one hour's sound rest. "Nevertheless we shall aradually. aecnstoin ourselves to fewer hours ot rest as a result of our present conditions."
