How to Lie when Sleeping
The correct posture for sleep is to lie on the right side with the limbs st/retohed out to their full length, and! the arms either straight down by the) body or in any comfortable position, provided they are not raised above the head. The mouth should be closed, and all the muscles of the body should be relaxed. The lungs work with greater deliberation during the hours of sleep, and if the arms are raised above the head at this time\, and for any period, tha action of tha heart/ drives the blood away from the arms and sends it to the head, frequently making one very restless, when it does not en-< tirely prevent sleep.
