Wake Up! You Need That Sleep!
By Lydia West , Black College Wire

Between class, work, parties and school activities, many students find it difficult to take the time to re-energize body and brain with the real food for the soul, sleep. This condition can become particularly aggravated at this time of year, heading into a home stretch of preparing finals, scrambling for summer jobs and internship, trying to focus on study through spring fever, bringing extracurricular activities and for some, suffering through senior-itis.

But for young people, failure to get in at least eight hours can result in dizziness, loss of energy and insomnia — all symptoms of sleep deprivation, says the author, a student at Albany State University who writes for the Student Voice.

Her research offers more good tips for getting re-energized from the National Sleep Foundation and others. Don't crash during finals. Check it out at BCWire.
