Your fellow students at other universities are graduating, if they are lucky enough to get to the end, with crushing debt. Will you be looking back at your college years with pride that you fought for the right of Harvard students to nap?Harry Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17088418333536732728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3116442395849122822.post-29137773514261166572013-03-03T12:52:40.272-08:002013-03-03T12:52:40.272-08:00The recommended time for a power nap is 20 minutes...The recommended time for a power nap is 20 minutes. You don't walk 20 minutes to take a 20 minute nap. Most students don't have an hour to go home, take a nap, and then go back to Lamont.

Space in the Yard is at a premium, and students can easily enough go back to their rooms for a nap--or better yet, get to bed an hour earlier.Harry Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17088418333536732728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3116442395849122822.post-22302328172949806302013-02-28T10:12:13.791-08:002013-02-28T10:12:13.791-08:00Why is it silly?

After a minute of frantically trying to figure out how to respond to what was on the black board, the professor offered the keys to his office with, "Mr. Collier, I don't mind you sleeping in my class, but your snoring is beginning to distract from the lecture. Perhaps you would like to nap on my office couch?"<br /><br />Now that the story has made it to the Globe, I think Stewart cannot be far behind.Mauricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00762719361348572568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3116442395849122822.post-25366362481579972062013-02-21T17:49:23.173-08:002013-02-21T17:49:23.173-08:00Or resorted to other strategems to REDUCE the numb...Or resorted to other strategems to REDUCE the number of student-faculty contact hours.
