Sleep in Wet-sheet Pack
If sleep comes to the patient in the pack, it is well to permit it to continue until it is time to terminate the treatment. The time for this, of course, will depend upon the effects desired. When certain effects are sought, it will become neces¬sary to terminate the sleep in order to remove the pack at the proper time. But sometimes it is well to let the patient sleep even for hours, especially in some cases of insomnia. If over¬heating is guarded against by the removal of part of the covering or the occasional wetting of the face with cold water, and precautions are also taken against chilling, the protracted sleep will be very restful and refreshing. In stubborn cases of insomnia that fail to respond to other measures, this pack is most effective.
