Charles A. Czeisler ’74, the Baldino professor of sleep medicine, has coauthored a report published this week in the Public Library of Science Medicine that highlights the adverse effects of extended-duration shifts on residents working in hospitals.

...isn’t an essential component of Festivus, the roommates also partook in the traditional “Airing of the Grievances.” In the Seinfeld episode, Frank Costanza tells Senifeld’s eccentric neighbor Cosmo Kramer, “At the Festivus dinner you gather your family around and tell them all the ways they have disappointed you over the past year!” Following these instructions, Douglas, Nierras, and their two other roomies happily griped away about their poorly decorated common room.

The dead, wrapped in black body bags, are carried from the morgue, past rows of troops standing at attention, and loaded into ambulances. The troops then follow the ambulances in silence as they drive slowly to a nearby helicopter pad. There the bodies are placed onto lumbering Chinook helipcopters and begin a long journey from Ramadi to the places where they...
