...studying patterns, and this definitely is accomodating,” Dilshoda Z. Yergasheva ’09 said. But Chiazotam N. Ekekezie ’08 said she began to avoid Lamont since it moved to the 24/5 schedule. “You’ll see people who sleep here, wake up in the morning, and have a bottle of mouthwash,” Ekekezie said. “People eat here and move in here.” Although a 2006 evaluation had raised questions of student conduct, Brainard said the pilot program proved the feasibility...
...doctors, most headache patients are a pain because there are dozens of possible causes. With migraine patients, the problem is quite different; while sufferers can pinpoint certain triggers (food, sleep patterns, stress, alcohol), no one's really sure what exactly causes the condition in the first place. The headaches can last hours - sometimes days - and often come with nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to sound and light, and, perhaps most strangely of all, distorted sensory perception, especially vision.

"Each of us has hisown stack of triggers and his own personal threshold at which the migraine mechanism activates. The higher the trigger level climbs above the threshold, the more fully activated the migraine system...
...It’s a no-brainer,” Harvard football coach Tim Murphy says of the ban. “I’ve got a 16-year old daughter who doesn’t get enough sleep, she studies all the time, she’s a three-sport athlete. If she’s getting calls at night and she’s getting 12 texts everyday that she has to respond to, you’ve got to be kidding...
