Hours of Sleep for Children and Adults.
A Gorman specialist, Dr. Cold, pleads for giving young people more sleep. A healthy infant sleeps most of the time during the first weeks, and in the early years people are disposed to let children sleep as much as they will. But from six or seven, when school begins, thero is a complete change. At tho age of ten or ofovcn the child sleeps only eight or nine hours, when ho needs at least ten or eleven, and as he grows older the time of rest is shortened. Dr. Cold behoves that up to twenty a youth needs nine hours' sleep and an adult should have eight or nine. With insufficient sleep tho nervous system, and brain especially, not resting enough and ceasing to work normally, wo find exhaustion, excitability and intellectual disorders gradually taking the Mace of love of work, general well being and tho snirit of initiative.—London TitBits.
