It was facinating, within SIX DAYS of starting their experiment, previously healthy subjects who did not recieve a peaceful night's sleep produced the glucosamine levels of a pre-diabetic! They had no sense of feeling 'full' after they ate, and found themselves eating an increased amount at meals and snacking more often. I can't find the details of that particular study, but here is a previous one done that details this a little more. http://chronicle.uchicago.edu/991202/sleep.shtml And another article detailing the possible metabolic sciences of sleep: http://ezinearticles.com/?How-Does-Sleep-Affect-Our-Metabolism?&id=760182 There have been a number of interesting findings out recently regarding sleep… there was one that detailed the metabolic changes in people who received less than 8-hours undisturbed sleep.
