If
you
are
a
sound
sleeper
it
may
be
possible
for
you
to
secure
more
benefit
from
three
to
four
hours'
sleep
than
a
shallow
sleeper
may
secure
in
eight
hours
of
a
lighter
degree
of
sleep.
This
extreme
depth
of
sleep
means
complete
rest
for
the
brain,
absolute
loss
of
consciousness,
and,
to
a
certain
extent,
loss
of
sensibility
in
respect
to
our
senses.
In
the
lighter
degree
of
sleep
certain
parts
of
the
brain
may
be
at
rest,
while
others
are
more
or
less
active.
Dreaming
represents
a
state
of
partial
consciousness
rather
than
a
condition
of
complete
rest,
inasmuch
as
various
parts
of
the
brain
are
active.
One
may
thus
be
conscious
of
his
dreams.
There
is
no
doubt,
however,
that
in
other
cases
various
parts
of
the
brain
may
be
active
though
we
may
not
be
conscious
of
their
activity.
We
have
all
heard
of
instances
where
mathematical
problems
appear
to
have
been
worked
out
during
sleep,
and
we
have
heard
of
musical
compositions
and
poems
being
produced
during
sleep.
All
these
phenomena
represent
a
condition
in
which
one
is
partly
asleep
and
partly
awake;
in
other
words,
some
parts
of
the
brain
are
active
and
others
are
asleep.
In
extreme
depth
of
sleep
when
all
the
mental
faculties
are
at
rest,
the
energies
are
relaxed,
and
the
activities
of
the
body
are
at
a
low
ebb;
it
is
such
sound
sleep
that
makes
for
rapid
recuperation.
The
deepest
sleep
generally
occurs
within
the
first
few
hours
after
falling
to
sleep,
and
it
gradually
becomes
lighter
and
lighter
in
degree
until
consciousness
is
reached.
Dreams,
therefore,
represent
partial
consciousness
and
usually
appear
in
the
earlier
hours
of
the
morning.
When
one
states
that
he
dreams
all
night
he
is
invariably
mistaken.
One
may
seem
to
live
over
periods
of
days
and
even
years
in
a
dream,
the
actual
duration
of
which
may
be
measured
in
minutes.
The
chances
are
that
the
dreamer
enjoyed
a
sound
sleep
before
his
dreaming
commenced.
