Reason 453...
by ...why it's ok to be late to work. I just read this article in a magazine and thought it was interesting. "Can Sleeping In Make You Thin?" Not that I'm a big diet/weight-loss person...but...it's just some more useless information to archive in my brain. The article says, "How sleep affects your weight isn't completely understood, but experts suspect that even one night of rest deprivation-meaning less than six hours of sleep-cause hormonal changes that could make your body more likely to store calories as fat. Unfortunately, those hormones stay out of whack until you catch up on lost sleep." So I figured, if I'm to catch up on lost sleep, I'd be sleeping a couple of years just to be "hormonally balanced". The world should just take a break and have an international sleeping day.
Just an interesting side note...

hmmm, ill have to keep that in mind.... to lose weight i must sleep more!
nah i sleep all the time and i aint losing any weight :/ would be nice
humans have to sleep a good amount of hours. it's not that sleeping more will help you lose weight, its that not sleeping enough can be a factor in u gaining too much weight. Yea, i believe that mad at least some sense.
we were talkin bout lost sleep in biology and our teacher said that you can NEVER get back sleep that you lost. because your body functions on all the sleep it gets and goes through the day. so it won't need that other sleep even though you will still be tired, you ain't gonna get it back.
