Yes, the all-nighter is a fact of college life. But researchers say sleep deprivation is bad for you. "At some point the sleep debt has to be paid," said Dr. Max Hirshkowitz, a sleep reseracher at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. "Eventually, the brain will demand sleep." Problems associated with lack of sleep range from decreased productivity and reduced mental sharpness to increased risk of accidents. The National Commission on Sleep Disorders and Research estimates that sleep-related accidents cost a total of $46 billion each year. Research shows that college students are chronically sleep- deprived. For example, Bryan Marenstein, a University of Washington student, said he usually makes it to bed between 3 and 4 a.m., averaging six or less hours of sleep each night. "Earlier in the quarter, I got a lot of sleep in the library ? on the couches, the chairs, the ground ? anywhere I could find a place to lie down," Marenstein said.

Most research experts agree that young adults need an average of seven to nine hours of sleep each night. "But for whatever the reasons, maybe a combination between academic, social and work demands, students end up getting five or six hours on the average," said Michael Vitello, associated director of the University of Washington Sleep and Aging Research Program. He cautioned against using caffeine, sleeping pills or alcohol as a crutch. "If you have a double espresso each morning, in a couple hours you may find yourself lower than before," Vitello said. ^ o hp On d?
