SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) ? Retired
daredevil Evel Knievel is taking his j
risks in court these days.
He is suing a hotel contending
his privacy was invaded Sept. 11,
1989, when a desk clerk gave a spare
key to his room to Clarence "Cip"
Paulsen III.
Paulsen unlocked the door, saw 1

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. "I got so much sleep at night

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.
