Did anybody watch 60mins Sunday? The science of Sleep?

This was very interesting. It was showing how lack of sleep is giving folks diabetes and making them fat. Along with other things like the effects on reaction times while driving.

But of course I was more interested in the weight/health part. They deprived/disturbed this young healthy guy of sleep in a study and he was immediately hungrier and started showing signs of diabetes AFTER 4 DAYS!!

There are a lot of clips & the entire show I think. Click on "JOHNATHAN II".

When I stopped working 2 jobs and took a later shift on my full time job, I got much more sleep and I noticed I started loosing weight after that.

Getting my 8 hours is now on my list of healthy changes.
