South Dakota is the place to go — to sleep

Turns out that Hawaii residents don’t get enough healthy sleep.

Hawaii has the lowest proportion of residents — 56 percent — who get the recommended seven hours of sleep, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC study didn’t delve into the whys, but we have a couple guesses: Having multiple jobs to keep up with the high cost of living? Waking up in the wee hours of the morning to beat rush-hour traffic?

In any case, if you need more shut-eye, you might consider a move to South Dakota, where 72 percent of respondents said they got seven-plus hours.

On the other hand, Olelo will be showing the ‘aha

This week will see the last of the monthlong Native Hawaiian ‘aha, or self-governance convention — and now the public also will be able to see the closed-door proceedings via live telecast.

Olelo Community Media will air an estimated 124 hours of live coverage on Channel 53, as well as livestream coverage at www.youtube.com/olelocm and at www.olelo.org/olelonet. The controversial ‘aha, convened at the Royal Hawaiian Golf Club, is set to end Feb. 26.

For policy wonks, that’ll afford a weekend break before attention turns to the highly consequential NextEra-HECO hearings, which resume before the state Public Utilities Commission Feb. 29-March 4.
