Professor Victor Hallopeau, member
of the Paris Academy of Medicine,
says:
The true secret of long continued,
valuable brain tvork is to cut the night (
lu two. The scholar, the Inventor, the I
financier, the literary creator, should be f
asleep every night by 10 o'clock, to
wake again at. say, 2 in the morning.
Three hours' work, from 2 to (5, in the i
absolute tranquillity of the silent hours
should rneau the revealing of new pow- ?
ers, new possibilities, a wealth of Ideas
undreamed of under the prevailing sys
tem.
From 5 to 8 or 8:30 sleep again. Tak
ing up then the day's work, the brain
will be still saturated with the mental
fruits of the midnight vigil; there will
be no effort In putting Into practice
or carrying further what was planned
or besun those few hours before.
The habit may be hard to acquire,
but mechanical means of waking at
first will Induce the predisposition.? j
