TABLE OF CONTENTS
I probably get more sleep than 95 percent of the people on this campus — students, professors and custodians included. My sleep schedule is highly regimented; in bed by 11 or so, up at 8 — nine solid hours a night, no messing around.
Sleep is a precious commodity on a college campus. Without nine hours of sleep each night I'm functionally illiterate, but not all students have the luxury of a good night's rest (mine often comes at the expense of homework and any semblance of a nightlife, to the great annoyance of my friends).
But hard as it may be to come by, sleep is important. As Sam Carlson documents in "More ZZZs, please," the amount of sleep we get each night affects everything from our ability to concentrate on homework to the (often unhealthy) eating habits we develop if we're tired. If you don't get enough sleep — and this may be the wrong time of the semester to think you can get more — there are a number of steps you can take to get a good night's rest, from a mid-afternoon workout to a hot shower late at night. For more tips, check out page 10.
