In these troublous times, many people find it difficult to get the proper amount of rest that is necessary. Sleep is one of the first prare- quisitos to health, and this series of articles tells you how to get the maximum benefit from it. The second is entitled:
PHYSICAL TENSIONS
BY D. COMPTON-JAMES
Many people are inefficient sleepers. No matter how early or how late they retire, they invariably lie awake for one, two, or three hours. Possibly they doze off around one a.m. but if they are unlucky enough to be wakened up during the night, they have to go through the whole lengthy and wearisome process of getting off to sleep again.
If everybody could learn the trick of dropping off to sleep within a few minutes of putting their head to the pillow, the world would be a much happler and healthier place.
Inefficient sleepers usually blame mental tension, but actually most of them acquired the habit in days when they were under no great amount of mental stress. It is probable, there fore, that the chief and primary cause of their inability to get to sleep is physical tension.
Good sleepers are often unsympathetic towards poor sleepers, arguing that if they were really tired they would fall, asleep without difficulty. It is a fact that in certain circum- stances, people can fall asleep in most uncomfortable circum- stances and against all sorts of physical tensions, but it cannot be argued from this that no notico need be taken of physical tensions.
At one period of my life I was able to sleep aquatting on -
barrage my heels, with booming in my ears, and with cold rain trickling down the back of my neck. I have even slept standing up. But at another period I was unable to sleep in a feather-bed without a sound to disturb the stillness of the night.
Very tired young people can sleep in almost any position, but for older people the first requisite for going to sleep Is good physical relaxation. This is not a mere matter of lying 'down and closing the eyes. Every muscle must be relaxed, and this is by no means easy, Any physical culture expert will confirm that it is much easier to contract a muscle than it is to relax it. Sport. champions ofton owo their prowess to the ability to re- lax a particular set of muscles at exactly the right moment.
No
The poor, sleeper lies wide awake in the firm and fond belief that he is completely relaxed, when actually his body may be the home of a 'dozen different muscular ten- sions. Even so, it is still pos- sible to go to sleep, but the task is more difficult and occupies a longer time. sleep is over perfectly relaxed, hence the body movements during sleep, which are auto- matic efforts to relieve a particular muscular tension, ́which ✨, was either present when the person went to sleep or has developed afterwards. In the average sleeper these movements occupy about half- 4-minute for every hour of sleep. They involve a certain lessening of the depth of the aleap, a partial rousing. Move- ments are also caused by noises heard at night,
Obviously this,' question of muscular tension is im portant not only white tho individual Is getting off, to, sleepy but throughout the
whole of the sleep period, because the longer the period occupied by body movements, the less bene- ficial the type of sleep.
It is useful to be able to recognise a muscular tension. This can be done by de- liberately tensing the various muscles and noting their feel. But there are many unsus- pected tensions such -wrinkled-forehead,-bent-toes, and strained neck-that people never think about.
The last-named tension is often due to an unsuitable pillow. Bent toes are a very common cause of lying awake. Some people try vainly, night after night, to go to sleep while their big toes are bent almost at right angles to the feet. It takes a considerable degree of muscular effort to maintain this position of the toes, but victims of the habit are entirely unconscious of it.
Wrinkled forehead is com- monly connected with some degree of mental tension, and it will be shown later that mind and muscles are often linked together in this way. The correction of the muscular tension will often relieve the montal tension to some ex- tont.

tracted in making the move- ments and some will almost certainly stay in a state of partial tension. Obviously changes of position should be eliminated as far as possible. Since most changes are un- conscious attempts to relieve a tension, it is clearly much simpler to locate the strain- and release it eighter by an act of will or a very slight movement.
Incidentally, I believe the best sleeping position is flat on the back with the arms folded on the chest. It is basically free from tensions, whereas these can hardly be avoided in the side or curled- up positions. However, some manual workers require “special steeping positions to obtain relief from the special muscular tensions set up by their day's work. These posi- tions may look contorted and uncomfortable but they should not be condemned on appear- 'ance alone,
Poor sleepers will probably put forward the argument that the location and check- ing of tensions will involve so much mental activity that they will be unable to go to

sleep in any case. There is some force in this argument, but the essential point to re- member is that this business of checking tensions is not a permanent night-time job like putting out the cat. It should not take more than a few nights to discover and correct your own particular failings in the line-of-tensions. Once this has been achieved, you will begin to relax automati- cally.
In the meantime it is surely better for your mind to be occupied in this constructivo way rather than with worries about this, that, and the other thing.

SULU SULTANATE RECOGNISED
The Government of British North Borneo has recognised as Sultaness of Sulu, a Philippine province composed of a number of small islands. The Sultaness, Dayang Dayang Hadji Piandao is a nieco of the late Sultan Jamalul Kiram 11 of Sulu and wife of Governor Datu Ombra Amilbangsa, of Sulu.
The recognition evoked wide interest, having been given by a foreign government, and in view of the fact that the Philippine Government no longer recognises the existence of a Sultanate in Sulu, says United Press in a message from Manila.
Another common form of tension is to be found in the
