wouldn't sleep running defeat the purpose of sleeping? people sleep to refuel and rest up and you'd lose a chunk of sleep time working out. might as well do it when you're lucid. also who's to say sleep time isn't as essential as gym time? It's a good-hearted idea, to have a healthy and active community, but the method suggested seems like a lazy solution to laziness. i'd suggest that people cut hours out of their work days, although that's not always an option...
I just read an article about this in my school paper. Apparently at Harvey Mudd College, they accept "55 percent of its female applicants and only 30 percent of male applicants" and they're pretty upfront about it too.
