Sleep Is N ceded For Healthful Living — Cox Sufficient sleep is an important part of healthy living. Adequate sleep helps, you to fo.el well, and builds up your resistance to di seases declares Dr. Geo. W. Cox, State Health Officer. An occasion al night of too little sleep will not hurt you. However, when you habitually go from day to day without enough sleep, damaging re sults are felt. In addition to ruining your dis position, insufficient sleep plan's havoc with your coordination arid timing. Workers who are short of sleep and rest tend to be accident prone. Some men who try to hold an extra-time job to increase the family income, have paid a heavy penalty in damaged health and ac cidents. Good sleeping habits take prac tice. It’s like anything else you do. No one can learn to become an ex pert swimmer, just by reading about the various strokes. You have to spend many hours practic ing to become a good swimmer. Listening to the radio, watching television, or working on hobbies that persons are loathe to quit are sometimes causes of staying up too late. Late entertaining also cuts out many hours of sleep. A regular routine for getting ready for bed will help you in the mood for sleep. The routine may mean reading the evening newspaper or a light story after you are ready for bed. Or it may be listening to soft music just before you turn out the lights and snuggle under the covers. A regular routine for getting children to bed also, helps put them in the mood for sleep. It helps when mothers are relaxed and pleasant when it’s the children’s bedtime. After reading them a quiet, plea sant story, the children will pro bably be ready to turn out the light and fall asleep. This helps form good sleeping habits, which mean much to a child’s health. Young children need lots of sleep—about twelve hours for the preschool youngsters, and nine to ten hours for older children.
