Evening Republican, Volume 19, Number 93, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 20 April 1915 — Sleep a Protective Function. [ARTICLE]

Sleep a Protective Function.

In an article on “Sleep,” Dr. Boris Sidis says: “Sleep is not a disease, not a pathological process due to the accumulation of toxic products in the brain or, in the system generally. Sleep is not an abnormal condition, it is a normal state. Like the waking states, sleeping states are part and parcel of the life existence of the individual Waking and sleeping are Intimately related —they are two different manifestations <of one and the same life process—one is as normal and healthy as the other.”
