Sleeping around (the clock)
Win a break in Dublin in the ultimate grab quiz
W I
went around a few lectures the other day and above are the disturbing scenes I witnessed. Students are falling asleep everywhere! It seems snoozing is the new… black. Is the cold weather finally taking its toll? Are the lectures getting more boring? Are our eyelids, sick of hearing about the AUT, striking themselves? Or are we all just partying a little too hard? According to results published by Pro Plus ®, 80 per cent of students get only 5-8 hours of sleep a night, with 50 per cent going to bed between 12am and 2am. On top of that 57 per cent get up before 9am (the forbidden hours). It’s no wonder that, according to my own intensive research, 86 per cent have fallen asleep in lectures. And that’s just the lecturers! Pro Plus ® are here to give you a kick up the arse and help you get through that midafternoon lecture on Language in Business and Industry, help you write that coursework due
the next morning that you should have finished week ago, or prevent you from committing the cardinal sin: falling asleep in a pub or club. After that heavy night of drinking, 47.5 per cent take caffeine to overcome a hangover (the rest, I presume, just drink more alcohol). Two tablets of Pro Plus ® contain 100mg of caffeine, which is the equivalent to a strong cup of coffee, and will really help to see you through and feel more awake. To take your mind off studying, we’ve teamed up with Pro Plus ® to give you the chance of winning the ultimate 24-hour entertainment kit, which includes a PlayStation 2 game, a record bag and a camera. To win the loot, simply stay awake long enough to send us the answer to the following question:
How much caffeine do two Pro Plus tablets contain?
