Excerpt from Sleeping for Health
OR five hundred thousand years or more human beings have been going to sleep. But only within a few score years have they had any definite idea why they slept.
Even to-day, with all the data of experience, and the science that explains experience, the average man knows nothing about sleep as a process. And science knows but little more.
There are any number of theories to account for sleep. But there is no general acceptance of any of these theories. The contentions of one school are ridiculed by the adherents of all other schools.
So the average man, bewildered by the maze of contradictions, scuttles out of range of the contenders, composes himself, and - goes to sleep. He follows his instinct - therefore he is eternally right.
In these pages I propose to consider, not so much the speculative and theoretical aspects of sleep, as to point out certain practical aspects of the matter things that everybody knows, but didn't know they knew until they were reminded of them.
