As the years go by, the average p e r s o n g r a d u a lly b e c o m e s a m o r n in g p e r s o n — a la rk as opposed to a night owl — and th e c h a n g e s ta r ts by age 30, a c c o r d in g to a U n iv e r s ity o f Pittsburgh study on sleep among middle-aged people. Sleep experts already knew the elderly suffer from deteriorated sleep quality but did not realize how early the decline begins. “The sleep community almost always has com pared young to old. The how and when of how sleep deteriorates has received alm ost no attention,” said Julie Carrier, 30, the study leader who presented her findings Tuesday in New Orleans to the Associated Professional Sleep Societies. C a rrie r’s team analyzed 100 healthy adults aged 20 to 59. The s u b je c ts k e p t d ia rie s fo r 14 nights, and researchers assessed their sleep habits in a laboratory on three nights. T h e s tu d y c o n c lu d e d th a t middle-age people tend to go to sleep earlier, wake more often, get up earlier and feel more alert when they wake up than people in their 20s. They also spend less time in deep sleep and the rap id -ey em o v e m e n t stage o f sleep — a stage at which researchers believe people dream and consolidate memory. Even by age 40, many people are deep-sleeping as little as peo ple over 70, C arrier said. “I t ’s almost disappeared. At 40 years old you have very low levels.” Most of the changes are prob ably tied to the internal “clock” that regulates the body’s cycle of sleep and wakefulness, she said. Other causes are possible, how ever, including the worries about children and jobs that are com mon to middle age. “ T h ey h ave a d iffe re n t life than 25-year-old people. T hat’s why we want to go and evaluate the psychological to see how we can explain this d eterioration,” Carrier said. W hat difference the changes make isn’t clear, she said. Unlike old people, m iddle-age people tend not to complain about trou ble sleeping. Further study could reveal whether jet lag and shift work affects middle-age people more than young people. The study, published in the Jo u rn a l o f Sleep R esearch in December, also determined that “larks” o f all ages get less sack time and REM time than “night owls” and wake up faster. Suzanne W oodward, director o f c lin ical sleep re se a rc h for Wayne State University School o f M e d ic in e in D e tr o it, said C arrier’s findings were signifi cant.

Chris Puzak: Distorting the Medium Pat Robertson, Amish drug dealers. Pagans, and sodc fetishists are in the news A •■'in ")+'i -I \ h e re h a s b e e n p le n ty o f w e ird new s in th e w o rld lately, not the least of which is that administrators have decid ed to close down the main cam p u s a n d d e v o te th e m se lv e s entirely to establishing satellite campuses. Anyone who wants a room in fall is urged to buy a ticket for Poland immediately. In reality, the weird news has been coming from places o ther than Drexel. For example, a couple Amish guys were just arrested for allegedly conspir ing with a biker gang named “The Pagans” to sell c o c a in e to A m ish kids. T h a t’s rig h t, lo o k fo r Absalom and Samuel the farmers with theif new friends “Snot” and “Bloodskull” at a square dance near you for a damn good time. I do not think anyone would notice if the Amish were on drugs, because quite simply, the Amish are nuts. W e’re on the verge on the 20th century and their idea of fun is barn-raising and planting crops by h an d . I w ould love to see A m ish d ru g wars, Amish crack whores, Amish half-way houses, and movies about said subjects featuring Al Pacino and a bunch of explosions in the starring roles. Lancaster County is boring and it needs som e thing to liven it up. Right now all they have is Dutch W onderland (m otto: Just like a real am usem ent park, except it sucks) and a bunch of outlets devot ed to selling things in bulk, like wicker, yarn, and socks. Speaking o f socks, there were a c o u p le foot fetishists who were arrested for a scam they were running. They pretended they were running a char ity devoted to collecting socks for the poor. They received about 20,000 pairs of socks. The police report said the cops found the socks all ■ ver the apartm ent, in four foot tall piles in some places. What kind of fetish is that? I said before that all the good fetishes were taken, and this just proves my point. I have thought about it, and there simply aren’t that many kinky things you can do with socks. For example, let’s say you owned a petting zoo. There’s a world of opportuni ties there. But socks? They are for losers with no imagination. And what would you do with 40,000 of them ? T h e r e ’s o n ly so m a n y o rific e s and appendages on the human body. And what do you say to the neighbors about the fact that your apartment is covered in socks: “Sorry - r.-*! T about the mess. They had a great deal down at the outlets in Lancaster. Wait until I show you the 500 wicker chairs I bought!” Last up is the story that Pat Robertson, televan gelist and all-around idiot, has prophesied dire con sequences for the city of Orlando, Florida. Orlando has hung up rainbow-colored flags to prom ote sex ual tolerance, and o f course we all kn o w Disney extends health benefits to the same-sex partners of employees. Pat Robertson- says that God may pun ish the city of Orlando with hurricanes, terrorists, or maybe even a meteor. Personally, I think people who worry about flags in Orlando, Florida or the practices of the hum anre s o u rc e s d e p a r t m e n t o f th e W a lt D isn e y Corporation-hlaVe ho* life whatsoever. W e live in America, land of the free, home of the brave, and as long as I have cable and Internet access, I could not care less about what other people do. I don’t think there is some big homosexual agen da to make everyone gay. It’s not like there are bill boards that read “Homosexuality. Join now and get six CDs fo r a d o lla r!” I ’ve n ever said to m yself “Well, I am a heterosexual, but I bet if I’m gay, I get some really great health benefits.” So people who think that are just stupid. But Pat Robertson, taking time out from his busy schedule o f p ro m isin g salvation and healing for $19.95 plus shipping and handling and babbling about the world’s finances being controlled by the Jews, has decided to warn Orlando that bad times are ahead. First o f all, why would terrorists want to attack O rlando? If th e y ’re going to attack anything, it would be W ashington D.C. It is not like there’s a bunch of guys in the Irish Republican Army having a m eetin g : “ OK guys, it is tim e to a v en g e the sh a m e fu l b a n i s h m e n t o f th e IRA fro m Space M o un tain in 1983 w hen we all got a bit rowdy. Lock and load.” And hurricanes in Florida? The hell you say! No, I th in k the p e o p le o f O rla n d o can sleep safely tonight with the knowledge that Pat Robertson is truly a moron. Besides, as any astute viewer of Deep Impact can tell you, the only way God is going to be angry enough to strike the earth with a meteor is if every one starts watching MSNBC. Chris Puzak is a pre-junior majoring in information systems. socks are secretly selling drugs to Amish homosexuals.

Members of The Triangle's staff have believed this for quite some time, and for them it is a relief to finally have some corroboration for their conspiracy stories. However, it is hardly enough. Word must get around about how we are being secretly eliminated by these evil rodents. Enter the Squirrel Conspiracy web page, where you will learn of the evil underbelly of everything from their secret organizations to out and out death threats. Read this victim's tale of how he came across valuable information crucial to bringing this conspiracy to light. Help his cause by monitoring squirrel activity on certain dubious web sites. But most of all, believe. I was hungry the other day, so Iwent over to the snack machine down the hall from The Triangle's office and tried to get some candy. I put my money in, selected M&Ms, and waited for my tasty treat. No such luck. My package of M&Ms fell on top of a pack of Mrs. Field's Cookies and got stuck there. There were also two packages of Twix and a pack of Tootsie Rolls wedged between some Pop Tarts left over from the attempts of other students to feed themselves. Someone must put a stop to this. Cry about poverty and homelessness all you want, the greatest affront to humanity is a Triangle staff member not getting his daily dosage of candy. Mark my words, Drexel students will start a bloody revolution if this sort of thing goes on. I am going to find the person responsible for this outrage, and believe me, he is going to pay. Sixty-five cents to be exact.
