research shows that those people who are sleep deprived are "just not right"!
in addition we are less motivated to exercise, have lower metabolism and bad eating habits. hmm. the report i just listened to said, "someone who is sleep deprived, just needs to make more time to sleep. they need to go to bed and have no distractions and sleep." it didn't mention how you are suppose to turn off your brain, or make the sore joints and aches go away or if you do fall asleep how the heck are you suppose to stay asleep. obviously the reporter has no trouble sleeping.
and...i always knew i was "just not right", i didn't need a study to remind me!
