altkey- it wasn't like this when i went to school: Next month, students at a Norwegian school are to be given an extra two hours in bed each morning, to help them cope with their hangovers. Final-year students traditionally spend much of the three weeks before their exams at a series of drunken parties. But these take their toll. Last year, there were reports of students falling asleep while their exam papers were handed out. Torolv Hellemo, principal of Hetland VGS, told the Aftenposten newspaper: "If some of the students do not feel well enough to have lessons, it is better for them to arrive after 9:30 a.m. It might sound silly, but we have experience in this . . . we are being realistic."
