Too Much Activity, Studying Blamed For Lack Of Sleep
Sleepy? Well, you're not the only one. Could be the fact it was Monday that added to the "groggy" atmosphere, but from the comments of students on the campus, there are several fundamental reasons for the typical "worn out" feeling which engulfs literally hundreds of KU students each week.
Asked how much sleep she got, Judy Weeks, Bonner Springs junior, gave the most unusual answer of all. "Nine hours, on the average." she replied. Judy says she guesses she just knows how to budget her time.
But Judy is in the minority. As Jim Hess, McPherson sophomore put it, "No, we don't get enough sleep. We have to get up for eight o'clock."
Tucker Landeene, Topeka junior, answered "no." "There are too many activities, but I'd hate to see them cut out," she said. "Those are the things that broaden our education, helping us to get along with other people."
Puts Off Till Tomorrow
Puts Off Till Tomorrow Don Shaffer, Cedar Vale senior, says he believes that KU students don't get enough sleep, "very definitely." Too many activities, too much studying to be done in a limited amount of time, and long labs are things he blames for working overtime. "I'm in favor of the theory of putting off today what you can do tomorrow," he said.
Ted Ice, Newton senior, had a different approach. "Students don't try to get enough sleep," he said. "There are just too many activities, but you can always make up your sleep."
Ralph Varnum, Kansas City, Mo. sophomore, and Harry Jett, Kansas City junior, disagreed on the subject. "You're in school such a short time that sleep should be secondary to studying." Varnum said.
"Grades aren't everything," Jett commented. "I want my sleep. Unless a person goes off the deep end and gets into too many activities, he should be able to get an adequate amount of sleep," he added.
Subtracts Time
Subtracts Time
John Lounsbury, Lincoln junior,
said, "Students get enough sleep to suffice except at exam time.
There's a great deal of emphasis on extra-curricular activities, so if you want to get good grades, you have to subtract study-time from sleep-time.
Bob Elliott, Wichita junior, replied. "Students don't get enough sleep because they don't appropriate their time well."
John Simpson, Salina senior,
said. "No, I don't think we get
enough sleep. We don't get the
chance to stay in bed long enough.
There's tittu too much going on."
Mrs. Gordon Yockey, a housemother, said, "I definitely feel the students don't get enough sleep. Together with school work and activities, they must sacrifice something, and usually it's the eight hours they really need. I'm amazed to find, upon getting up in the morning, the same people in the same chairs studying, as when I had gone to bed the night before." Whether your problem is an over-supply of tests, too many extra-curricular activities, or simply not knowing how to budget your time, there is one consolation: There are only 13 more school days until vacation.
Shoemaker To Attend Meeting
