One
of
the
most
valuable
remedies
for
those
suffering
from
sleeplessness
is
to
lie
in
an
air
bath
during
the
entire
night.
This
idea
can
be
carried
out
very
easily
by
raising
the
bed
covering
in
such
a
way
as
to
remove
its
weight
from
the
body,
thus
providing
what
we
might
call
a
chamber
of
air
in
which
to
sleep.
With
the
aid
of
a
large
safety-pin
or
a
horse-blanket
safety-pin,
the
bed
clothing
may
be
kept
thus
suspended.
The
safety-pin
is
pinned
through
all
the
coverings
in
the
centre
of
the
bed
and
then
by
means
of
a
string
passing
through
the
safety-pin
and
running
from
the
top
of
the
head
of
the
bed
to
the
top
of
the
foot
of
the
bed
the
bed
covering
can
easily
be
raised
to
the
desired
height.
The
appearance
of
the
bed
is
then
somewhat
like
that
of
a
small
tent.
One
may
not
feel
warm
immediately
after
entering,
if
the
weather
is
cold,
but
if
the
covering
is
thick
enough
and
the
air
is
entirely
excluded,
a
perfect
air
bath,
warm
and
comfortable,
can
be
enjoyed
during
the
entire
night.
The
head,
of
course,
will
keep
its
usual
position
outside
of
the
covers.
No
underclothing
or
night
clothing
should
be
worn
when
attempting
to
carry
out
this
idea.
The
problems
associated
with
covering
are
of
considerable
importance.
Many
people
are
unable
to
sleep
because
of
cold
feet
and
many
are
overheated
by
an
excess
of
covering.
It
should
not
be
necessary
to
bury
one's
self
underneath
a
heavy
load
of
covers
in
order
to
keep
the
feet
warm.
Use
as
little
covering
as
possible
and
still
maintain
the
bodily
warmth.
Eider-down
bed
covers
are
very
valuable
because
of
their
light
weight
and
great
warmth-retaining
qualities.
Overheating
during
sleep
produces
restlessness
and
robs
one
of
the
sense
of
refreshment
on
awakening.
The
question
of
cold
feet
I
have
already
dealt
with.
The
difficulty,
in
most
cases,
is
one
of
defective
circulation
before
going
to
bed.
If
one
will
be
sure
that
his
feet
are
warm
and
his
circulation
good
before
retiring
to
bed
he
will
invariably
have
no
trouble
of
this
kind,
even
during
winter
time.
I
do
not
mean
that
one
should
be
chilled
by
insufficient
bedding,
but
I
certainly
would
advise
as
little
covering
as
is
compatible
with
a
comfortable
degree
of
warmth.
