Everyone ought to know the importance of a good night's sleep, but a full eight hours of slumber often eludes college students.

Sleep disorders sometimes a puzzle

By Sara Hall
April 23, 2012 12:00 AM
It's midnight on a weeknight and it's time for bed. After tossing and turning for hours, sleep fails to come. Six hours later, the alarm clock goes off and the day begins. Sound familiar? While this situation is inconvenient and annoying, it could be evidence of a real health concern.

What is daylight savings doing to you?

By Jocelyn Langford
March 16, 2012 12:00 AM
If you are anything like me, this past week it has been nearly impossible to get out of bed. Losing that one hour on Saturday night followed me all the way to Friday. How is that possible? It is only one hour! But we all know that the difference between getting up at 6 a.m. and getting up at 5 a.m. is a big one.
