By th*» Aflfto<*iated Press. PITTSBURGH, Pa., Xnvpmher 2. : j Pittsburgh has 12 experimental "sleep- ; : ers" who nightly, while resting in the ; arms of morphens. are aiding scien- ! fists in tests which are expected to j make this world a better place in • which to sleep. A technical study of the psychology I of sleep is being made by scientists I of the Mellon Institute of Industrial Research, and a dozen boys, students i at the University of Pittsburgh and . Carnegie Institute of Technology, are I the "subjects." Dr. H. M. Johnson, j noted for his scientific work and | formerly of the facility of Ohio State ; University, is in charge of the work. I and he is being assisted by George E. ! Weigand. psychologist, and T. H. i Swain, chemist. The 12 boys sleep in specially non , strticted beds, mounted on gimbals 1 which permit of easy lateral motion I in the two horizontal planes, in op | position to the tension of light j : springs, and to each bed is attached j a recording appartatus, which indi- j ; cates every change of posture, both i j as to time and extent. I The recording apparatus attached to ! | ea'-h of the experimental beds will ! I chronicle the degree and time of 1 I movements of the sleeper, which will ! j indicate the periods when there is not I complete relaxation. Experiments j ! will be made after a sufficient number i of "readings" are obtained to give a j (working basis, using various types I !of beds and bedding in an effort to j | find the most desirable and sleep-in- ’ j during condition. | j Using the standard obtained as to j the rate or depth of sleep, it will be a , matter of record-taking, the scientists j say, to determine the relationship be-1 tween sleep under one condition or j another, under certain types of bed- j ding and in certain types of beds, i ! under degrees of fatigue and other problems. ' The scientists will be aided In their »• work by the "chronoscope." an instru- j ment invented by Dr. Johnson, w'hich i records such conditions as mental! alertness and the determination of i fatigue or efficiency. Speaking of the experiments now ! being conducted and which are ex-1 ; pected to continue over a period of: several years. Dr. Johnson declared j that sleep is one of the most impor- j tant functions of the body, it being a condition of rest of the nervous system during which there is a re newal of the energy that has been expended in the hours of wakefulness. "The regularity of sleep, therefore,” j Dr. Johnson conntinued. “is of utmost ! importance for prolonged youth and ! ; healthy old age. and unsatisfactory } ■ sleep or insomnia is a source of dan- 1 ; g.er to our prospects for continued j ' vouthfulness and tong life." • .
