Part of Courtney’s problem, a new study indicates, may be that
he sleeps in on the weekends. The study, conducted at Brown
University, indicates that teenagers may be better off getting up at
the same time on Saturday and Sunday they do during the week.
The research showed after kids stayed up late on the Friday and
Saturday night and slept in the next morning, they caused their
internal body clocks to reset to a later time. This made them foggy
in the mornings early in the week, especially on Monday, when
they had to get up at a normal time.

Cunningham is not alone. According to Officer Gene Stilts, thieves at this
school took $24,757 worth of valuables from students, $10,000 of which
were video iPods. And that total doesn’t include the cash taken as well.
“There were 20 incidents last year (involving stolen money) that totaled
up for a stolen amount of $770, and if you divide 770 by 20, then that’s a
lot of money,” Stilts said.
“Sometimes I think the school gives off a false sense of security. People
don’t think that their stuff will be stolen here, but it will,” Stilts said.
“Students need to treat the school like the Greyhound Bus Terminal. They
should never leave their stuff unattended.”
