Lack of sleep can cause problems
Doctor says seven to nine hours of sleep needed to prevent unhealthy side effects
Jennifer Humphrey works 25 to 35 hours a week and is enrolled in 160 hours of classes. This does not leave her much time for sleep.

"I've been getting about four to five hours of sleep a night since I started the job in January," said Humphrey, Linn, Mo., freshman. "I consume an enormous amount of caffeine."
She is not the only one. With only three weeks of classes left in the semester, getting eight hours of sleep is becoming more of a luxury for
some students than a necessity
Theresa Downing, Wichita senior, said, "Most of the time I stay up late to get my projects done. I don't like going to bed at 6 a.m. to get about eight hours of sleep."
Myra Strother, physician at Watkins Memorial Medical Center, said people must spend about 30 to 40 minutes of their time between two and nine hours.
If a person occasionally does not get that amount of sleep, it is not a problem. If you do, your person gets less than the prescribed amount of sleep often, problems can arise.
Muscle weakness, difficulty concentrating, dizziness after standing up or sitting down, poor reaction time and shortness of breath from mild exertion are some of the problems. Strother said.
arise.
"You'll have a loss of interest in things you're usually interested in," she said.
"It ends up keeping you up, but not mentally alert," she said.
Caffeine pills and products that contain a lot of caffeine are not the answer, Strother said.
Strother said a possible side effect of consuming large amounts of caffeine was stomach problems. Caffeine does the amount of acid in the stomach.
Taking naps is a way that some students deal with sleep loss, but that should not be relied upon to replace deep sleep. A good way to produce a state of deep sleep
However, Strother said the easiest way to avoid side effects from lack of sleep was to get enough of it. Studios would have to sleep at night when they feel tired.
She said exercise was a way to combat some of the side effects of lack of sleep. The body is in good shape, and it makes people better. Good nutrition also helps.
"Basically, your body is telling you to go to sleep." Strother said. "You're not going to be retaining as much anyway, so go ahead and go to sleep."

An Israeli newspaper yesterday quoted Shamir as saying he envisioned Palestinian self-government in the occupied territories, with Arab ministers for education, justice, health and trade.
In London, Shamir will meet with Soviet Prime Minister Valentin Pavlov. He said he would ask Moscow to renew full diplomatic ties with Israel as a condition for cement in Middle East peace talks.

PALM BEACH, Fla. — Investigators for both sides in an alleged rape at the Kennedy estate are roaming nightclubs trying to assemble a portrait of the woman who says she was attacked.
Private investigators hired by the Kennedy family and police detectives have been talking to acquaintances of the woman, employees at her favorite nightclubs and those under the night before the alleged assault.

Kennedy investigators look for clues in bars
"The Kennedy's have deep pockets and long arms — they are doing everything they can to get out of this," said a local bar employee who has been dogged by Kennedy investigators. "They haven't left me alone and I'm only talking to them to get them off my back."

He also appeared to be renewing elements of Israel's 1989 peace plan. That proposal called for elections and interim autonomy for the 1.7 million Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip before negotiating the final status of the lands.
Speaking to reporters at Ben Gurion International Airport before flying to London, Shamir also said Secretary of State James Baker's stepped up Middle East diplomacy "proves that there is something in it, something to talk about."
The woman's attorney, David Roth, sharply criticized the three private detectives Friday, accusing them of tampering and obstruction of justice.
Shamir said he did not have a full report on Baker's talks with Egyptian, Syrian, Saudi and Jordanian leaders. Baker's tour of the region last week.
Mark Schapp, attorney for suspect William Kennedy Smith, the 30-year-old nephew of Sen. Ted Kendrick, are just doing their jobs.
Shamir spent two days discussing that peace plan with Baker, who visited Jerusalem last week. The Palestinians oppose autonomy as a permanent arrangement and the temporary step toward full Palestinian sovereignty in the West Bank and Gaza.
"That's where they seemed to be leading," he said. "She had something to drink, but she didn't leave here drunk."
He would not elaborate
But Shamir said that from what he had heard, "There are positive things and less positive things; there are things that are agreed and things that are not agreed."4
He said late Saturday that the woman was in the bar the night of March 29 and that the Kennedy investigators were interested in how much she drank before the alleged attack early March 30.
