Brittany Davis college student
“My classes all start at 8:00a.m, so I get up at 7:00, eat a quick 
breakfast and take the bus to the university. In the afternoon, I 
have a job at the library. My only time to study is in the evening, 
from eight until midnight. I work at the library on Saturdays, too. 
But on Saturday nights I stay out late, and on Sundays I sleep until 
noon”
Joshua Burns Web-Site Designer
“I design Web sites for small companies. I’m self-employed, so I 
work at home. I get up at 6:30 and go for a run before breakfast. 
I’m at my computer by 8:00, and I work until 6:00 p.m. Around one 
o’clock, I take a lunch break, and I “surf the Net” to look at other 
Web sites. I work hard – sometimes I work all night to finish a 
project. But I never work on weekends”
Maya Black Rock Musician
“I go to work at ten o’clock in the evening, and I play until 3:00 a.m. 
I take a break at midnight, though. After work, I have dinner at an 
all night restaurant. Then I take home. I go to bed at five in the 
morning and sleep until two in the afternoon. I only work three 
nights a week – Friday, Saturday, and Sunday – but I practice every
