When I was in the service any time we went into an auditorium to be lectured or listen to a speech we went to sleep in the time between getting there and the event actually happening. After that you better be awake because someone was going to toss you to the floor if you fell asleep. It is hard in the service, especially in an Academy of any type and a soldier, sailor, marine takes their sleep where they find it. I used to fall asleep during the 10 minute breaks we would get on 25 mile hikes, then jump up ready to go when the "boss" blew the whistle. Of course I was young then:)
What's a CNN?
my son graduated from Anapolis in 05. Averaged about 5 hours of sleep and took cat naps whenever possible.
How do you control the length of sleep and when to wake up?
Well, come over here and sit next to me. We must be from the same tribe. I've long since quite telling (okay...okay, crabbing) my husband about these "white nights". LOL! All he does is give me a puzzled look and advises, "Well, just quit thinking so much...just go to sleep."
(slaps hand to forehead) Duh! Now why didn't I think of that? 
I lsot count how many times I stayed passed my desired sleeping hour because of the thoughts run ning through my head. Curse and blessings from an active mind I guess. :/
CNN is dog crap.
