Note 26 — SLEEP.
Reading edition
“Regular and sufficient Sleep, serves on the one hand, for repairing the lost powers, and on the other, for lessening consumption, by lessening vital activity. Hence the lives of people who are exposed to the most debilitating fatigue, are prolonged to a considerable age, when they enjoy Sleep in its fullest extent.”—Struve’s Asthenology, 8vo. 1801, p. 199.
