WHEN SLEEPING YOU’RE DRUNK
SO SAY SCIENTISTS. PROHIBIT IT? WASHINGTON, Dec. 1. Scientists are out to upset the old theory that a child needs to sleep half its time, an adult one-third, and an elderly person probably to eat and sleep most of his time. Efforts are being made to induce humans to “sleep faster” and thereby “save time.” Professors at the George Washington University are the experimenters. They say that sleep is a form of intoxication, and that, therefore, it can he developed more rapidly if people go the right way about it. ■ * What the ordinary citizen is wondering is whether the authorities will now claim that sleep, being a .state of intoxication, must be prohibited under the Volstead prohibition law.
