DDS continued from page 1A all trying to work together to make sure that everyone who needs to get home can,” she said. Chen said that providing a serv ice strictly for women is still im portant, despite the many ride op tions already available to everyone. “If males on campus are con cerned with their safety, students have every right to start a service if they feel there is a need,” he said. A student who wants to start any service can go to the ASUO and fill out an application and ask for funds. Alexandra Kerl, the women’s center education outreach coordi nator, said that Saferide came about because women felt unsafe, and while she knows that some men feel unsafe, she said they have many other options such as the Tandem Taxi. “I don’t think that we need a mirror image. It’s the way society works,” Kerl said. “I just don’t think that things are the same. ” Jennie Breslo, events coordina Sleep continued from page 1A student has to make up later. And contrary to popular belief, “you can’t store sleep up,” Fleischli said. Most students don’t practice good “sleep hygiene” — which includes going to sleep and wak ing up at the same time each day and not drinking caffeinated bever ages before bedtime, Fleischli said. “Students are probably not get ting as much sleep as they need,” Fleischli said. “And bouncing their schedules around isn’t healthy.” University students are not alone, however. Almost half of American adults ages 18 to 29 don’t keep regular sleep sched ules, according to statistics from the National Sleep Foundation’s 1999 Sleep in America poll. And unless students are getting the recommended amount of sleep at the same time each night, they’re actually harming themselves, Fleischli said. “Students can get into a down ward spiral,” Fleischli said. “When you study when you’re tired, your studying is not effi cient, so you figure you just need to study harder. But if you get more rest, you can get more work done in a shorter amount of time.” Students are'better off manag ing their time effectively than taking caffeine pills or downing countless cups of coffee, said Joanne Frank, a health educator with the health center. “I wouldn’t personally recom mend caffeine pills or drinking coffee,” Frank said. “What will happen over time is that the body will eventually fatigue, and you won’t be as alert for your classes the next day.” If students absolutely must stay up for a project or study for a test, Frank said students should look for better alternatives than stimulants such as caffeine or sugar. “Students can crack a window open to bring in fresh air, or get a friend and take a walk outside to help wake them up,” she said. “There are other ways that are more natural than using a stimu lant to stay awake.” okmft dcssa^ti moking this telrn and celebrate life as a relaxation Develop personal relaxation techniques that can be integrated into your hectic college life.
