  It is surprising how little has been written about Sleep, and what a small part of what has been written is worth reading. Perhaps the best book, certainly the most exhaustive, is Marie ManacÉÏne’s “Sleep,” which contains a full but disorderly Bibliography. Except in the case of American works, which might easily have escaped Marie ManacÉÏne’s attention, I have not tried to go further back than that Bibliography, as she was most industrious in research; I have only cut out from her list what seemed the more obsolete or needless works. But with the help of A. T. Craig and others, I have carried it, as far as may be, down to date. Bibliography Selected from that Given in “Sleep” (ManacÉÏne).

[1] It is said, however, that in later life Napoleon carried this too far, and was sometimes stupid for lack of sleep. [2] In an examination of the theory of the “subjective” and the “objective mind,” see chap. vii. [3] “Law of Psychic Phenomena,” chap. vi. [4] Arcana Coelestia, § 1772. [5] Tolstoy has traced out the working of that curious and benign dispensation. See chap. xvii, “Life and Love and Peace,” where the present author has fully considered his views. [6] Republished by permission of the Century Company. [7] It is interesting also to note that a similar pressure on the jugular veins produces loss of consciousness, but from just the opposite cause, that is, from congestion of blood in the brain. This state of unconsciousness resembles coma just as the other resembles sleep. E. M. W. [8] There are grave dangers attendant on hypnotism for entertainment. Prof. C. H. Judd of the University of Chicago says: “There is no justification whatever for the use of hypnosis as a means of amusement.” See Judd: Psychology. [9] See chap. xxi on “Natural Living.” [10] Tuke’s “Dictionary of Psychological Medicine,” vol. i., p. 703. [11] Tuke’s “Dictionary of Psychological Medicine,” vol. i., pp. 703-4. [12] It appears that Argenterio thinks Aristotle inconsistent in his proposition here. |
