Excerpt from The Pedagogical Seminary, Vol. 27: A Quarterly International Records of Educational Literature Institutions and Progress; 1920 It is a remarkable thing that we know little about the most fundamental processes in our daily life, - activities vital and essential to our health and happiness. Particularly is this true of the phenomenon of sleep. All sorts of theories have prevailed in regard to it; some of them absurd; some of the recent ones extremely illuminating. If we look at the whole matter objectively, as we might imagine a being doing in some other planet where sleep is unnecessary, if we take such an objective view, we may naturally ask, is this a stupid habit into which the human race has fallen, just as some animals indulge in a hibernal sleep from lack of stimulation, or is it an essential condition for health and normal activity? The answer to this question is simple, and has been given definitely and concretely, not only by the observation of the' race, but by recent investiga tions that have shown poisonous products present in the nervous system under conditions of prolonged wakefulness.
