To Rest and Rise Refreshed-

- Dr G. H. R. Dabbs, writing in “Fry’s Magazine,” gives the following excellent rules for dealing | with sleep and fatigue : "Always remember that it is better to sleep well than to try to explain the meaning of sleep. Where physiologists cannot agree, it is best to agree to differ and yet sleep on it,” “Always be sure that honest and worthy fatigue ensures the reward of sleep. It is well to cherish this assurance.” “Always attend, in your clinical environment, to such healthy surroundings as ensure healthy sleep. Ret the air of your bedroom be ' constantly renewed by open wiu- , dows and clear and clean chimneys, j Attend to your gasfittings and see that they do not leak. Do not ' I keep a jet of gas on all night. It ! only uses and befouls the air you need.” “ Always warn yourself against over-sensitiveness as to noises and sounds. In this complex and work-a-day "world there will be work-a-night noises. Your rest, like your heaven, must be within you.” “Always consider well that too soon before exercise or sleep solid food should not be taken in any quantity. A stomach that has to I work does not Lit it off with a ! body desiring either to play or I sleep. Dreams are only thoughts j uncorrected by consciousness, but | they can be very tyrannical. What answers to palpitation in a violently . worked body with a full stomach jis disordered cerebration during that pseudo-sleep which is very far removed from rest.” “ Always be sure of this, that, inasmuch as the need for sleep signifies the need for repair and recuperation of vital tissues, any dietic thing which hurries the 1 heart’s action must postpone the process of repair. Why, therefore, should a healthy man take alcohol before trying to take rest. ?” “Always remember that just as the slight eater may yet be a perfectly healthy man or woman, so | the light sleeper may yet be a good ; sleeper. What I may call density of sleep is not any criterion of perfect rest. The nervous system is strangely strung and weirdly bah j anced, and you cannot generalise \ too much and still be critically ac- : curate. The individual has his own habits just as he has his own ; other characteristics.” | “Always prefer light food to drugs, where sleep is wayward or I rest refuses to come. There is I truth in the fact that during sleep ■ we pass more hours without food ! than during our hours of activity, and though it may lie true that the inactive state needs no feeding, ; there are cases and conditions in which some night-food may be necessary. Yes; and may induce sleep. Especially is this the case in the early days of training, if, in order to train, a man has to surrender a great deal of (hitherto) surplus food.” “ Always place light, water, and air high up in your estimate of the pure needs of a pure body. Do not encourage darkness where natural light has dawned; let it i enter, and sleep in it. Drink and ' use plenty of water ; breathe lots of pure air. It is all rubbish to say night is dangerous. The air in your window-closed room would still be night air, and might soon be dangerous.”
