1. A clear conscience is the softest pillow

    "Helping students realize the importance of sleep" Come on, are you kidding? Helping realize are two verbs even taken consecutively are weak and powerless given what you are up against. When I was in college I got a little drunk every night which helped me gag down the horrible food in the mess hall and later another drink or two got me to sleep. I was a smoker and not into healthy living and eating then. In the 50s who was?

    I suggest exercise as a “stress consumer”. 20-30 minutes on a treadmill, cycle or jogging around the block dissipates the stress response very nicely. That is what the stress response is for - gets you ready to fight or flee. Too many people sit and stew in it and that raises your blood pressure and causes many other health problems.

    "The wise for cure on exercise depend; God never made his work for man to mend."
    John Dryden (1631-1700)
