Sleep.—The suspension of sensation and voluntary motion, occurring at pe- riodic intervals, continuing for some hours, then terminating spontaneously, or by some irritation or excitement, being indispensable to the due dis- charge of all the sensory, intellectual, and volun- tary functions. ii. Sleeplessness.—The non-recurrence of this periodic suspension of sensation and voluntary motion, or the imperfect or interrupted recurrence of it, as a symptom of disease, or as the chief manifestation of disease. 2. I. Sleep is necessary to the due discharge of the sensory, intellectual, and voluntary func- tions for any considerable period ; and if wake- fulness be much prolonged beyond eighteen or twenty hours, even during states of excitement or anxiety, an overpowering disposition to sleep is experienced ; although powerful constitutions, on trying occasions, may continue awake for much longer periods. The organic functions, or those functions which are actuated by the organ- ic, nervous, or ganglial system, and which con- sist chiefly of digestion, assimilation, circulation, nutrition, and secretion—all these functions com- monly termed involuntary—require not the sus- pension or repose constituting sleep, which, if extended to them, would soon terminate life. But these functions are performed—at least some of them—with less activity during tins' period. Sleep is not only indispensably requisite to the adequate discharge of the functions performed by the cerebro-spinal nervous system, but is also necessary to the due nutrition of this system— to the due supply of the waste of nervous power, and even of intimate nervous organization, re- quired for the healthy performance of the func- tions of this system. While the ganglial nerv- ous system, on the one hand, discharges its func- tions through the media of the several organs actuated by it almost continuously, and without marked repose or waste of substance or structure, the cerebro-spinal nervous system, on the other hand, demands periodic or alternate repose and action, in order to insure its healthy function and organization, and to prevent excessive exhaustion and waste. 3. The restoration of cerebro-spinal nervous power consequent upon sleep has been, by some physiologists, attributed to the due nutrition of the cerebro-spinal organs during this period, as much as to the suspension of exhaustion and waste, this restoration and nutrition being requi- site in proportion to the antecedent waste, which, if not duly restored, successively increases until the intimate organization of these nervous cen- tres ultimately undergoes irreparable and tangi- ble change. In early age and during manhood, the voluntary actions and mental exertion may be continuod during comparatively long periods](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b21111066_0023.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
