Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Sleep and Sleeplessness
Henry Addington Bruce · 2022
52/100
👎 Skip It
H. Addington Bruce writes well for a 1915 popular scientist, and this is a genuinely interesting artifact of early sleep research — but a century-old medical text is not a guide readers should follow today, and modern print-on-demand reprints add no editorial apparatus to flag what's obsolete. Worth a browse on the Internet Archive for history-of-science curiosity, but not something to press on anyone seeking actual sleep help.
