So why am I miserable? I've been diagnosed as having “night terrors.” ‘These attacks have plagued me for almost 13 years. I've broken bones, scared my family half to death, and almost killed myself. With night terrors, you jump out of bed and literally run for your life. While still asleep, you scream, can't breathe and think you're dying. This is very frightening for the family and no fun for the vic- tum. I was diagnosed years ago ata sleep disorder center. They claimed I have the sleep patterns of a 13- year-old and what I am experienc- ing can be dangerous. I was put on medication, which did not help. In fact, the drugs made me very tired and more susceptible to these attacks. I'm beside myself with anxiety and don't know whore to turn. If you can help me, Ann, 1'11 be for- ever grateful. -- Longing For Nor- mal Sleep in Philadelphia Dear Philadelphia: My office spoke with Dr. Mark Mahowald at the Minnesota Regional Sleep Dis- order Center at Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis. He said there are a number of disorders that can cause the behavior you described, and most are treatable. It is Dr. Mahowald's opinion that you may have been misdiagnosed, and he suggested that you try another clinic. He is optimistic about your chances to get help if you follow through. For information or referrals, write to the National Sleep Founda- tion, 122 S. Robertson Blvd., Suite 201, Los Angeles, Calif. 90048 Dear Ann Landers: I'm a 35- year-old single male, never married and considered attractive. The problem?-I can't seem to find a woman who will give me the time of day. I've answered personal ads, joined singles groups, gone to church activities and even:tried nightclubs. The only women I've met who: show any interest are extremely overweight and don't care about the way they look -- or they are deeply religious and just want to be friends. The attractive Professionals are all busy and have no time to date. For example, last week, I asked Oul,a smart young business execu- tive, and this is her schedule: Mon- day, pottery class. Tuesday, aerobics. Wednesday, night school Thursday, volleyball. Friday, soft- ball practice. Saturday and Sunday, « weekend church retreat. Another woman who answered a personal ad I had placed told me she works late every night and goes home to see her parents on weekends. Are there any women left who are physically fit and have time to date? Why is everyone so darned busy all the time? I'd like some answers. -- Falls Church, Va. Dear Falls Church: With all the women out there who are eager for men, you can't get a date? Yes, you DO have a problem. I can't tell you what it is because I don't know you, but believe me, something is defi- nitely out of kilter. Obviously, no one will level with you so I suggest that you see a counselor. You need an objective, unbiased professional who will evaluate your Personality and explain to you why you keep bombing out.

This isn't fun. It's dirty. It's messy. It hurts."" LEAST COMPETENT PEOPLE According to Mayor Richard Daley, the April 13 flood of the Chicago business district could have been prevented if either of two things had happened: (1) If inspectors had checked five bridges, they would have discov ered defective pilings that punc tured tunnel walls but inspectors ignored four of the bridges, claiming they couldn't find a place to park. (2) If one inspector, who viewed a punc- tured wall, had reported his find- ings quickly, preventive action could have been taken -- but he sent his photographs to a drug Store for processing and had to wait a week to get the prints back.
