Trivial Worries Over
Problems
Trivial worries over personal
problems cause more loss of sleep
than wondering if you'll wake up
in the morning with an atomvbomb
under the bed, -or the boot of
an invading paratrooper planted
on your chest.
But this is only part of the
counsel whfch Dr. Herman M.
Jahr of the University of Ne
braska medical college gives on
sleep or the lack of it.
Dr. Jahr, who combines ex
pert knowledge with the phil
osopher's wisdom, speaks advis
edly. Any habit as universal as
sleeping is bound to provoke much
discussion. If you can't sleep the
subject gets a lot more interest
ing. This produces a questionable
assortment of experts on sleepless
ness, most of whom peddle bad
advice on what to do about it.
"Too many people have the
wrong idea of what sleep really is.
Some believe a sleeping person is
unconscious,' 'Dr. Jahr said. "This
is not the case. An unconscious
person cannot be awakened. Sleep
is just a cessation of activities.
Those who long for peaceful
slumber and cannot attain it, ac
cording to Dr. Jahr, may be di
vided Into two classes healthy
people who have some false ideas,
and persons who suffer from or
ganic ailments which tend to pre
vent sleep. But it's the healthy
non-sleeper who accounts for most
cases of insomnia.
"He is usually a tense- worri
some, stubborn individual. And his
greatest worry is 'Why can't I go
to sleep?'" says Dr. Jahr. He
quotes the story of a character
who complained to the doctor of
tossing aU night. The physician
checked on hfm. He lost only four
minutes and 12 seconds a night
in his tossing. He talked about
it four hours each day.
The doctor enjoys poking fun
at the sleep-insipiring qualities of
beds, mattresses, springs and other
equipment. If your attitude is
right, Dr. Jahr thinks you can lie
down on a too-short sofa, on the
floor, . or almost anywhere else
and sleep like a baby.
"All you need is four things:
A belief in being able to sleep;
tired, relaxed muscles; a healthy
body; and a calm atmosphere," Dr.
Jahr says.
Dr. Jahr has some statistics
which show that college students
require eight to 23 minutes, to go
to sleep after going to bed. Middle
aged men require about 25 min
utes and middle-aged women
about 10 to 15 minutes, which may
suggest that the ladies haven't as
many problems as they think they
have.
About tossing: College students
turn an average of 38 times a
night; middle-aged men 53 times
a night; and middle-aged women
26 times a night. Tossing about at
night, Dr. Jahr says, doesn't mean
you're losing sleep. In fact, he
takes issue with those who say
they "slept like a log." If you do,
you're likely to find yourself stiff
as a board when you get up and
walk around m the morning.
Don't count sheep. You'll get
more interested in an accurate
count than relaxing.
