Putting in long hours and getting little rest are bad enough. But people who work unusual shifts face a double whammy. About 20% of U.S. employees toil during the evening or night hours, or rotate through day, evening and night duty. Such workers are both sleep starved and out of synch with their natural sleep-wake cycle. For most people, biological alertness peaks in the morning and early evening. It dips mildly in the afternoon (hence the tendency toward midday naps) and plummets between midnight and dawn. Night workers are butting against those rhythms, forcing themselves to stay awake just...
Brrrriiiing! That's the alarm clock going off, and now that everyone's wide awake, let's talk about sleep. Nobody can do without it, and most people -- including journalists at TIME -- don't get enough.

And even if they can, will that be enough to persuade Saddam to leave Kuwait? Those questions are dissolving the once solid support for the Bush policy along partisan lines as Democrats in Congress have begun to insist, loudly, that the embargo must be given time. Says Maryland Senator Paul Sarbanes: "The cost of a year of waiting is nothing compared with the cost of a week...
...chosen segments of his nation for some time. "You can bet the Iraqi people will feel the pain first and most deeply," he said. "Not the Iraqi military and not the government." The question is whether that is any reason not to let sanctions work a while longer -- long enough at least to find out whether the pain will eventually touch Saddam...
