Single living often worri

TORONTO (CP) — Marsha is

ful, single and
happily searching.

But there have been innumerable times in her 37 years
when the vibrant public relations worker was 80 entangled
in self-doubt that dating became a chore. ~

She was a classic victim of what has been erassly called
the Old Maid Syndrome — the growing number of single
women over 80 who can't find a satisfying relationship with
men.

It’s sex and the single woman, with a twist of panic.
Many are taking their private turmoil to psychologists
and psychiatrists,

“I was in a relationship that I thought might be the real
thing and I didn't want to blow it; I wanted to nip (any
problems) in the bud,” Marsha, not her real name, says
about her decision three years ago to seek professional help.
“The pattern in my other relationships was that they only
went so far.”

Before the therapy sessions, dating “was a bit like
taking your car into the shop and worrying about it while
getting it fixed,” she said in an interview. “Now T've come
around to realizing that it's in great working order and I
have the satisfaction of knowing that I did everything I
could.”

‘ACCEPT PAIN’

Although Marsha’s hot-and-heavy liaison broke up after
a year, her sessions over six months with Toronto
psychologist Barbara Bresver helped her “accept the pain
with no second-guessing.

“Now, when a relationship of mine ends, there's none of
that ‘Well, I could have done this differently,’ " said the
never-married Marsha. “I used to think it was always me
causing the breakup, although I couldn't pin it on anything
specific

“Now I'm into dating in a big way because there's none
of that pressure for it to succeed.”

Bresver and other professionals in the
field say as much as 40 per cent of their caseloads are women
over 30 who have concerns about current relationships, are
afraid to get involved with men or just can’t find one.

“This is a phenomenon of this era,” said Gail Golden, a
psychologist in London, Ont.

Over the lasttwo decades women have tended to job
hunt rather than man hunt — between 1970 and 1983, the

STRONG LINK
BETWEEN SLEEP
AND EXERCISE

By KIRK LaPOINTE
Canadian Press

It’s fairly simple: the less you sleep, the worse you
exercise. And it seems the more you exercise, the better
you sleep.

But experts are still seeking a lot of answers about
the relationship between snoozing and working out. So
far, it's been easier to assess what lack of sleep does to
exercise performance than to determine how exercise
benefits from a good sleep.

Studies show that a lack of sleep:

— Makes muscles work less efficiently, lowering the
level of enzymes that help them contract and relax.

— Prevents the central nervous system from
working properly, producing feelings of fatigue, anxiety
and depression, and reduces tolerance of the stresses of
exercise.

— Lowers resistance to viruses, bacteria and sources
of allergies, making it easier for you to get sick.

— Reduces psychological fitness by cutting into your
dream sleep in the hours just before waking, a time
experts say the body uses to wash away some of the
emotional stresses of the previous day.

ANSWERS FEW

Scientists and exercise experts are only now turning
their attention to the exercise-sleep relationship.

“[ don't think you'll find one study that provides
many answers,” says Dr. Robert Goode, professor of
exercise physiology and physical education at the
University of Toronto.

A 1983 study by researchers at University of
Tasmania in Australia found that athletes tended to sleep
longer. But it’s unclear if their fitness affected their sleep
patterns — the subjects of the study may just have been
good sleepers.

Similarly, a 1984 study by the United States Army
suggested that sleep quality improved as fitness
improved — but it may have been the change of
environment that prompted the change in sleep pattern.

About 70 per cent of North American adults sleep
about seven or eight hours a night, about 20 per cent
sleep six hours or less and about 10 per cent sleep nine
hours or more.

Sleep habits are often dictated by your schedule —
you want to watch the late news on television and have to
be at work by 9 a.m., so you sleep between 11:30 p.m. and
7:30 a.m.

If not influenced by schedules or external factors,
people consistently sleep longer than usual — a finding
that has prompted scientists to conclude we may be a
sleep-deprived society

par rate of women in the labor force increased to 63
per cent from 88 per cent, When these career women are
ready to get serious, the male pickings seem slim, Bresyer
and Golden say.

Th there are more than enough bachelors to

go around, Statistics Canada figures indicate. In 1985,
there were 599,000 women 30 or over who were single and
never married, while the number of men in that category
was 611,700.

The problem for women is the younger competition.

“The women I see are looking for single men — of whom
there are not very many — taller, good looking and
wealthier than them,” Golden says.

But “traditionally, men want wdmen younger than them
‘and in what I like to call jobettes, a little job that gets them a
bit of money, enough to keep them happy, and still allows
them to take care of their men,

“Many men don't want women whose loyalties are
divided between them and their work.”

COMMON FACTORS

Although reasons for their man problems vary, Golden's
female clients tend to Rave common elements — s1 ful
careers, high incomes and complicated family backgrounds.
They also share iP — poor
eating or drinking, sleeping problems, anxiety and -de-
pression.

‘That's when they seek help, paying upwards of $70 an
hour.

“I help them sort out what really matters to them and
help them: broaden their field,” Golden. says.

Society still tends to retain the old-maid tag, Golden
says.

“A woman's value is still largely based on who she
marries and if she doesn’t have a man, she’s much more
pathetic than a man who ean't find a woman.

“That biological clock is still ticking, and some women
start to panic when they're over 30, no man in sight and feel
they may never have children.”

Bresver says she tries to help a client realize her
self-worth by focusing on her strengths, and know herself by
looking at her relationships.

SEE PATTERNS

“I often go back to their relationships with their

parents, and soon patterns start shaping,” says Bresver. For

Study recommends
belts in buses

TORONTO (CP) — Chil-
dren would be safer on school
buses if they wore seat belts
and sat facing the back of the
bus, a federal government
study has concluded.

The “transport ministry
tested five methods of pro-
tecting children in simulated
school-bus accidents and
found that turning the seats
around is the cheapest way to
improve safety, researcher
Bill Gardner said.

Bus accidents usually in-
volve front-end collisions so a

a child is facing the rear, said
Gardner, who heads the
ministry's crash worthiness
standards branch.

“Generally, we concluded
there's no point in trying to
soften the blow to the head of
a school bus occupant in a
crash,” Gardner said.

“You're better to restrain
them so their head doesn’t hit
anything.”

Results of the recently
completed $75,000 study will
likely be. published in a

high, padded seat-back ae ae this summer, Gardner
id.
