I am reminded of another "health" scripture from the Doctrine and Covenants: This one is D&C 88:124. Last week I was talking to my older sister about how we might survive the coming week of school, two Reading Days, and five days of finals. She told me her plan, and I paraphrase: "I'm just going to fall asleep for the next week and a half." I concurred; I thought it might work. I was wrong.

This past weekend (after an intense GRE experience), I decided I would try to sleep as much as possible to see if it would help any. It was nice to wake up Sunday morning after 10 hours of sleep and it was nice to wake up Sunday evening-ish after another hour of sleep. But by Monday morning my body was ready for the "arise early" part of the scripture.

Starting at the beginning of this week, BYU's library is open until 2 a.m. until finals are over. I think the students here (myself included!) would be wise to follow the counsel the Lord has given us!

"Cease to be idle; cease to be unclean; cease to find fault one with another; cease to sleep longer than is needful; retire to thy bed early, that ye may not be weary; arise early, that your bodies and your minds may be invigorated. "
