Sunday is ‘the most sleepless night of the week’
Monday, January 21, 2008 |
| London, Jan 21 (ANI): Feeling listless and sleepy on Monday? Well, the condition might be explained by the fact that Sunday happens to be the most sleepless night of the week.
The finding is based on a poll of 3,500 adults, commissioned by the hotel chain Travelodge, which found that nearly 60 per cent of workers sleep the worst on a Sunday.A bad night’s sleep certainly does have its repercussions, with one in four calling in sick at the start of the week, 46 percent being unable to concentrate at work, 30 percent showing an irritability towards their bosses and 20 percent dozing off at the desk. And if Sunday is the day when you get your worst night’s sleep, then Friday is the best, with eight in 10 people getting enough of time snoozing, reports the Telegraph.16 million adults in the UK say that they suffer regularly from insomnia, with the majority blaming work related concerns for keeping them awake. All that worry causes Brits to lose an average of 51 minutes of sleep each night. A figure that totals to a month’s worth of sleep every year. (ANI) |

A taste of Sarawak
Posted by Nora aka Anon Fm. Miri on January 22, 2008
Sunday January 20, 2008
SIX students and staff members from Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) in the United States completed an inaugural winter intersession programme conducted by Curtin University of Technology Sarawak, entitled People and cultures of Borneo, recently.
After three weeks of the Borneo experience, the students and staff shared their experiences before leaving for the United States.
The programme co-ordinator and Pre-University Studies School director, Bibi Aminah, said the students visited different longhouses in Sarawak and the Bakun Dam.
”In Kuching, they visited the Sarawak Textile Museum, Sara Craft in Santubong and the Cultural Village,” Bibi added.
Anthropology and International Studies student Sarah Carr said she felt a sense of urgency when it came to studying another culture.
“The world is changing so quickly and it is so important to document the special things that distinguish each group,” she added.
VCU’s programme co-ordinator Associate Professor Dr Gregory Plunkett said there was a strong community bond among the different cultures, which led to everyone living in harmony.
“It is good to see this as I think that the sense of community is slowly disappearing in the United States because we tend to be individualistic rather than be part of a community or family,” Plunkett said.
Under the programme, students will be evaluated on their workshop performance, journals, oral presentation and a report on their experiences.
Curtin Sarawak pro vice-chancellor Prof John Evans said study abroad programmes were a good way to present and promote the many exciting attractions and facets of life in Sarawak.
This is the first programme introduced by Curtin Sarawak and both universities hope to have more in the future.
