From Rosemary Carter, Lewes, East Sussex, UK
Regarding your article about overcoming tiredness, after a distressing life event in 1995, my GP asked me if I needed sleeping tablets. I replied that I was getting very little sleep, but I had read an article in 91av that said that students were found to do equally well in exams if they had slept badly compared with if they had slept well. I would just remind myself of this article while at work following a poor night’s sleep, and tell myself that I could function perfectly well. It seemed to work (28 February, p 30).
