Sleep - - Just 80 Minutes A Night Immm?mm i - SLEEP COMES best in the first 80 minutes according to a 10-year study. By EDWARD S. KITCII CHICAGO (API ? How did you sleep last night? Your best period of sleep was the first 80 minutes alter you re tired, according to a 10-year study on sleep being conducted at State University of New York, College of Medicine After that your depth of sleep never reaches the same soundness and your sleep pattern alternated between almost awake and asleep. If you awoke at the end of the night and said you had a "terrible night," you are like the 25 per cent of 30 persons tested during the study. Although recordings of their sleep indicated they slept well, their reports baffled the re searchers who attributed such re ports to personal differences. Tft^research on sleep is car riecjflV by the Sleep Research Fou1^Pn?>n under a grant from the Simmons Company. Under the direction of Chandler MeC. j Brooks, Brian F Hoffman and R. E. Suckling assist the project in the department of physiology of the university. Their study revolves around re cordings made by an electro encephalogram. Lts tracings re semble the pulsations of a lie de tector mat-hint5. It records the vol ume of electrical activity of the brain, which lessens markedly during sleep. A record of blood pressure is made every five minutes during a subject's sleep. It shows that blood pressure goes down during sleep and the heart beat slows six to eight beats a minute from wake-1 fulness to deep sleep. It also in dicated that the heart rate is more sensitive to quickening during the end of the night than when one first retires. A sleeping person moves from one to two times an hour and more frequently during the end of the night What unhooks tire conscious from the unconscious to put us 1 to sleep is believed to center in the thalamous and reticular for-i matlon- of the brain. This is the mysterious function of sleep that puzzles physiologists. No one knows what happens. Dr. Brian F. Hoffman says the importance of knowing more about th<- function of sleep is intensi fied with the flood of new tran quilizing drugs now available. He said the newer ataratik drugs are not supposed to sedate but tran quilizer How they do the job is partially revealed in the sleep study. Elec trodes inserted in the brain of laboratory animals stimulated the thalamus and reticular areas. Sleep was induced when the thalamus center was stimulated. Stimulation of the reticular for mation of the brain stem caused the animal to awaken, Dr. Hoff man said. How you slept, however, de pends on several factors the sci entists are unable to measure. The surface on which you slept, the sounds and room darkness play an important role in how you sleep: Subjects- sleeping on a hard board or a feather bed didn't sleep as well a- persons who slept on a standard mattress. This is attribut ed to the fact that temperature and discomfort enter into the problem of how well one sleeps. Dr. Hoff man said. Another factor revealed in the study is that a sleeper's response to light and sound is greater in the sleeping brain than in the con scious brain. Observers believe that this is part of the natural workings ? of the instinct of survival, and, de spite dripping water faucets, we come awake when sudden light or sound disturbs our sleep. Speaking of Homemaking By MRS. ELIZABETH G. PARHAM Home Service Representative Carolina Power & Light Co. ENJOY A HOME FREEZER Since the days of the cave man. j j when woman first took over the job | of feeding a family, she has been j faced with the problem of preserv- j ing and storing food. Until recent years, the preparation and serving of fresh foods had to be a "hand- | 1 to-mouth" affair. Homemakers were I compelled to shop practically every ; day. They had no way, except ordin ary refrigeration, to keep fresh foods from spoiling. Such foods I could not be purchased more than a few days in advance, and meal preparation had to be a three-: times-a-day affair, every day. Then we learned about freezing foods. First came the commercial freezer, then the frozen food locker, fol I lowed by the home freezer. To have a home freezer is almost ilike having a magic wand which I can be waved over fresh foods. I with the command: "Stay just as; j you are until I need you!" For that.' | in effect, is what freezing does. It i takes fresh foods at their peak ; of goodness and keeps them that ! way for weeks, months, or even aj | year?until.they are needed. j i The home freezer frees you from | the daily grind of three-times-a- j day food preparation and frequent1 food shopping. It enables you to put meals on a modern, production I line basis. If you care to, you can' | prepare meals in advance?ready ] for cooking or completely cooked? j and keep them until needed, in the | electric home freezer. Then, just j before mealtime, foods can be pop | ped into the oven, utensil or broil I er. and have them ready to serve, piping hot with all their fresh j flavor and health-giving minerals and vitamins. Enough pies, cakes, cookies or pastry for a week or more may be prepared, ready-to-bake or baked j and stored until needed. School lunches may be made in advance ' and kept in the freezer until the youngsters leave for schdol in the morning. Leftovers need not be wasted?freeze and serve later on when they are again a novelty. Commercially frozen foods can be purchased when at sale price, and stored for future use. Freezers provide better balanced meals for the family by keeping on hand a wide variety of fresh frozen foods all year 'round. Freez ing retains the true value and vita min content of foods.

Al Kleinman, Fred l.uranl-Perronnel Nat Need.rn.an, Bernard Kauffman - Associate Auctioneers I ! I Failure To 'Fit In' Seen As Most Common Worry By JANE EADS WASHINGTON ? Dr. Thelma Hunt. Washington psychologist who uas spent most of the past 15 years listening to people's worries and trying to straighten them out, says the most common worry stems from a person's inability to fit into family life or a social group. This, she says, is usually be cause a person doesn t think high ly enough of himself and doesn't accept himself in terms of his own personality and makeup. Besides her private practice. Dr. Hunt is executive officer of George Washington University's Department of Psychology, one of! the few women to head such a de partment in a university. She says inability to adjust is back of most job problems: "A person's basic psychological needs include a certain amount of self-esteem, a certain feeling of adequacy and a feeling of being accepted by others, or belonging to a group." Dr. Hunt is currently helping to administer a new course in rehabilitation counseling at the university. It is designed to pre pare graduate education and psy chology majors to take up coun seling jobs in hospitals and in stitutions. More people are seeking help . through counseling than ever be fore, Dr. Hunt says, but this doesn't mean that more people have problems. "It's % just that attitudes have changed through increasing availability of help and the acceptability of getting it," she explained. Dr. Hunt was a student at the university before joining the staff in 1928. She was awarded her Ph.D. degree at the age of 23, the youngest to have received that de gree .from GWU up to that time! She is married to Ernest A. Hoaly, Jr., an educational - vocational councilor with whom she maintains a private office.

LIGHT IT VOIR GARDEN Your lovingly planted gardens , don't have to black out at sunset if you give html rhe "light'' touch Outdoor lighting equipment gives \ou not only prolonged enjoyment of the garden, but allows you to j do more entertaining and cooking I in the cool of the outdoors, j A big extra, too, is the safety that outdoor lighting provides against both accidents and prowl ers. Mere are five tips in carrying out a lighting plan for a garden, either large or small: 1. Avoid "whitewashing" the entire garden in imitation of day light. The result is likely to be flat and monotonous. The fascination [of a lighted, garden lies in eon ttrasts of light ami shadows, in I highlights and silhouette effects, j 2. Scatter the lighting un.ts j Place them so they illuminate a flower bed, a well-shaped tree, a path, a pool, a rock garden. 3. Conceal the light sources, j | Respect your neighbor's right to [ privacy arid place light bulbs and j 'fixtures v,) Mial light is confined to |your own premises. In your own garden, the prime rule should be: keep the light source out of view er's eyes. Hide bulbs in .shrubbery Or use a shielding reflector. I 4 Use white light on flowers. Colored light may be used sparing ily on white statuary, walls and I trellises, and is most effective in pools and fountains. Blue lights are disappointing for they are likely to create an eerie and unearthly look in the night. 5. A little light goes a long way. if directly on light-colored walls, and concrete and gravel patch They all serve as reflec tors of light. Personals Mr. and Mrs. Hoomes Kich have arrived from Ft.
