going to the mall, playing with my dog or going
out with my friends,” she said. “I would also
Jh make it a point to exercise during finals, even if
lit was a short period of time. That always
I seemed to relieve my stress and it gave me a
| fresh outlook when I returned to studying.”
Coufal summed up the importance of keep-
ling her studies in perspective.
“When it was all over,” she said, “I made
(sure to take a couple of days off just to relax
and enjoy my freedom.”
Ask Aggie,
I've been having horrible sleep for sever
al weeks! I lie down to go to bed and then
I just stare at the ceiling for hours and final
ly when I do get to sleep, I toss and turn all
night long. My grades can’t afford for me to
keep falling asleep in class. Any ideas?
— Sleepless in College Station
Dear Sleepless in College Station,
Babies and dogs seem to have it the best.
All they do is eat, sleep and you know what.
However, as adults our busy lifestyles keep
us from having the restful sleep that we
need for the next productive day. Even
though it may seem impossible now, there
are some easy ways to improve your sleep
ing habits.
Try to see how much sleep you need.
Cornell University psychologist James
Mass, author of Power Sleep, recommends
a sleep experiment to see how much you
need. For one week, go to sleep a full eight
hours before you need to get up. If you
awake rested and ready to go - and feel that
way throughout the day - you’ve gotten
enough sleep. If not, try changing your bed
time. Get over to the Reel It can’t hurt.
Dr. Emma Gibbons, assistant department
head of the Kinesiology department at
A&M, said exercise is a stress reliever. Any
form of cardio-vascular exercise (big mus
cle movement for at least 20 minutes) will
help the body release stress. However, she
also says for some people strength training
can add stress to the body when a person
first begins a program. Some people find it
difficult to fall asleep within two hours after
working out.
I’m afraid there is not an answer that will
fit everyone. Sleep is essential to a healthy
lifestyle and cannot be overlooked. Try
some of these tips, but consider consulting
a physician if you do not improve or feel
that you have a more serious problem.
Good luck and sweet dreams.

Dead Days
Harry Potter tops out at the
box office, beating Titanic
LOS ANGELES (AP) — After an A-plus debut,
Harry Potter’s box-office grades have slipped to
non-magical levels.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone took in
$24.1 million to remain the No. 1 movie for the
third straight weekend. But its gross dropped 58
percent from last week’s Friday-to-Sunday total,
according to studio estimates Sunday. The film
has taken in $220.1 million in 17 days.
Behind Enemy Lines, starring Gene Hackman and
Owen Wilson, opened in second place with $19.2 mil
lion. Spy Game was third with $11.2 million.
In limited release, Hilary Swank’s historical drama
The Affair of the Necklace opened with $136,000 in
18 theaters for a healthy average of $7,556. The
western Texas Rangers bombed with just $300,000
in 402 theaters for a feeble $746 average.
After a record-shattering $90.3 million debut two
weeks ago and a huge take over the long
Thanksgiving weekend, Harry Potter returned to
earth. Such a fall is typical of big family films
released around Thanksgiving. Theater crowds tail
off as children return to school and parents are pre
occupied with holiday shopping.
Monsters, Inc., another family hit, fell from sec
ond place to fourth with $9.4 million, a 61 per
cent decline from the previous Friday-through-
Sunday. Last year, the gross for Dr. Seuss How
the Grinch Stole Christmas fell 48 percent the
weekend after Thanksgiving.
Harry Potter and Monsters, Inc. should see solid
rebounds around Christmas and New Year’s Day.
Both holidays are prime time for family moviegoing.
They fall on Tuesdays this year, meaning five-day holi
day weekends that bode well for film attendance.
Distributor Warner Bros, expects Harry Potter to
soar well past the $300 million mark and easily break
into the top 10 list of all-time top-grossing films.
It could even head toward the $400 million mark,
putting it among the top-grossing four or five films,
said Jeff Goldstein, Warner's general sales manager.
Whether it can approach the $601 million of domes
tic box-office champ Titanic remains to be seen.
‘‘It’s just too early to tell,” Goldstein said. ‘‘Whether
we can go for the all-time record, that's something we
won’t know till four or five weeks out from now.”
The movie might be able to match the $461 mil
lion gross of the No. 2 film, Star Wars, or the $431
million take of No. 3 movie, Star Wars: Episode I —
The Phantom Menace. The top five is rounded out
by E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial at $400 million and
Jurassic Park at $357 million.
Warner reported that Harry Potter continues to
draw solid return customers, but it will have a hard
time approaching the repeat business of Titanic.
Teen-age girls saw Titanic over and over because of
heartthrob Leonardo DiCaprio.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through
Sunday at North American theaters, according to
Exhibitor Relations Co. Inc. Final figures were to
be released Monday.
1. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, $24.1
million.
2. Behind Enemy Lines, $19.2 million.
3. Spy Game, $11.2 million.
4. Monsters, Inc., $9.4 million.
5. Black Knight, $5.7 million.
6. Shallow Hal, $4.7 million.
7. Out Cold, $2.9 million.
^Domestic Disturbance, $1.9 million.
9. Amelie, $1.4 million.
10. Heist, $1.2 million.
