ON SLEEP

'' Not being able to sleep we gave up the idea of sleeping and arranged to stay out all night in an open-air shelter. Our idea was not to sleep at all, but simply to lie quietly, drinking in the beauty of the night. We knew that sleeplessness was not as harmful as people imagine, and that to lie quietly, restfully and happily was almost as good as sleep. Well, night came, and we lay down to enjoy the beauties of Nature —the stars, the trees flowers, night birds, etc. . But within five minutes we were fast asleep, and we knew nothing until the morning, when we awoke after a long spell of refreshing slumber. The secret is to make up one's mind to remain awake and to enjoy it in a restful manner. Trying to sleep keeps one awake —try-

ing to keep awake -sends one to sleep."
