bzarcherResearchers at Warwick Medical School link sleep deprivation with obesity.
Now, that's interesting, because I know for a fact I had a great deal of problems sleeping as a kid (OK, OK, I still have a great deal of problems sleeping as an adult, too, but that's not my point). I went through pretty much every day with only four or five hours, and then caught sleep on the weekends.
I know that sleep apnea can be caused by obesity, but has anyone studied if it occurs more frequently in children who become obese?
Either way, neat development, and unfortuantely, proof that you can't cut corners on sleep without it coming back to hurt you in more ways than one.
