Sleep deprivation common
among college students
Amy Wilson
Managing Editor
College often brings different
stressors for different people but
most students share one common
bond: sleep deprivation.
As the semester moves past
the midpoint students' lists of
things to do seem to become
infinite and sleep often is the
first thing to go. However the
National Sleep Foundation
reports that college students
require eight to nine hours of
sleep each night to remain
healthy and happy.
In reality many students
average about half as many.
Such is the case with
Rebekah Thomas sophomore
advertising and public relations
major from Alamogordo N.M.
She said she averages about five
hours of sleep a night largely
because of her class load.
"Sleep seems less important;
you're here to go to class and get
your homework done not to
sleep" she said. "I think 1 would
Web sites offer e-mail
storage streaming services
Matt Lowe
Page Editor
On Oct. 16 a new Web serv-
ice called e247 began offering a
new combination of free services
including e-mail file space and
file streaming. But students may
not need the service at least not
until they graduate and can no
longer use the universitys com-
puting resources.
According to its promotional
material e247 Inc. began with
businessman Edward C. Yu. Yu
frequently traveled between the
United States and Asia and he
liked to travel light. He wanted to
be able to access data and enter-
tainment files at any time from
anywhere.
This then was the point of
the e247 service - to provide a
centralized location and easy

get in a lot of trouble if my mom
were paying this much money
for me to sleep through my
classes."
Thomas said she does feel
effects of the lack of sleep such
as suffering headaches and
fighting to keep her eyes open.
On the weekends she tries to
compensate for theisleep she
missed during the week. She
said she sleeps from eight to 12
hours Friday night and about
eight on Saturday. On Sunday
however the pattern of insuffi-
cient sleep resumes.
"Sunday is the when you do
your homework" she said.
According to the NSF's Web
site www.sleepfoundation.org
many Americans ages 18-24
accept a lack of sleep as part of
life. A recent poll shows that 53
percent of young adults say they
will sleep less to accomplish
more.
Such habits often lead to more
cases of having difficulty waking
up arriving to work or class late
and feeling sleepy at least two
access to all of these files.
The site seems to do a good
job at this: it combines three serv-
ices - e-mail file storage and file
streaming. While other service
providers offer similar packages
none seem to have the same com-
bination of services.
Yahoo! Mail for example
offers Web-based e-mail but not
file streaming. Myplay offers
music streaming but not video
streaming. It is worthwhile to
notice however that Myplay
does offer 3 gigabytes of space for
storing music files 30 times more
than e247.
Students may not find these
services useful at least while
they're in school. Students are
already allotted 100 megabytes of
file space on an ACU server and
because this space is on the local
network files can be accessed
more quickly than files stored in
e247s space.
Students also already have e-
mail accounts - although when
using ACU e-mail the maximum
size of an attached file is 2
megabytes whereas e247 allows
attachments of up to 25
megabytes.
Here e247 may have an
advantage According to the

days a week the NSF reports.
These symptoms occurred less
often in older age groups.
The NSF offers tips for man-
aging better sleep habits. Some
specifically targeted at young
adults include avoiding caf-
feine and relaxing before going
to bed. The Web site explains
that college students often suf-
fer from sleep deprivation
because they don't fully realize
the dangers of insufficient
sleep and they see all-nighters
as the solution to their time
problems.
Some students however aim
to avoid a deficit of sleep.
Jose Arvclo freshman jour-
nalism major from Baumholder
Germany for example says he
averages about seven hours a
sleep a night.
He said his body warns him
with common symptoms when
he has forfeited too much sleep.
"I bump into things" he said.
"When I'm deprived of sleep it's
hard to concentrate and I mum-
ble when 1 talk "
material a Greenfield Online
Survey reported that of 15 mil-
lion college students who arc "e-
mail enthusiasts" 27 percent said
they had problems with Web
mailbox limits.
And that leaves e247's third
and most unique service - file
streaming. Because downloading
a large audio or video file can be
time consuming file streaming
technology parcels out data in a
way that allows user to begin lis-
tening to a song while the song is
still being downloaded. Without
file streaming the entire file must
be downloaded before the user
can listen to it.
But many students don't
know what file streaming is and
those who do may not find it very
useful.
James Sumners junior com-
puter science major from
Seagraves said he knows about
file streaming but doesn't need it.
Sumners said he would prefer to
save files locally.
Tara Peterson sophomore
marketing major from Costa
Mesa Calif. said she might find
the service useful but not until
after she graduates: she and her
boyfriend arc planning to start a
wedding coordinating business.
