1.  Why Get a Heap of Sleep?

Tired of puzzling over the answer to a problem? Sleep on it! A new study shows why a good night's sleep is important. Scientists found that people who sleep at least eight hours a night are better at solving problems.

2. The Friendliest Firehouse

The firemen of Engine Company 16 in Chicago fight fires in one of the nation's poorest areas. When they are off duty, they open their doors and hearts to local kids.

Ten years ago, the firehouse was a target for trouble. Criminals broke in and stole equipment. The firemen just quit locking up. Soon, kids from a nearby school began to walk through the open doors. But some were skipping class to visit. The firemen began giving away bikes to kids who stayed in school. Now the school has one of the best attendance records in the city.
