All the Draft talk in 2011 has been dominated by the disappointment of big time prospects like Harrison Barnes, Perry Jones, and Jared Sullinger dropping out and how shallow a field it is compared to past years. There also seems to be a misconception that there’s little to be had outside the late first round in terms of value. Like most ... A new study in the journal Obesity adds to our understanding of the link between sleep and weight. And it's not a pretty picture for those of us who burn the midnight oil. People in the study who habitually went to bed late and got up late in the morning consumed more calories than those who went to bed and got up early. And these were not high-quality calories, either: The late-to-bed crowd ate more fast food and less produce than those who turned in earlier. The research, conducted at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine and supported by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, tracked 51 people (23 of them defined as "late sleepers" and 28 as "normal sleepers") whose average age was 30. On average, the late sleepers maintained this schedule: They went to bed at 3:45 a.m. and awoke by 10:45 a.m.. They had breakfast at noon, lunch at 2:30 p.m., dinner at 8:15 p.m. and another meal at 10 p.m. Normal sleepers, on the other hand, were asleep by 12:30 a.m. and woke up by 8 a.m. They had breakfast by 9 a.m., lunch at 1 p.m., dinner at ... Staying up late every night and sleeping in is a habit that could put you at risk for gaining weight. People who go to bed late and sleep late eat more calories in the evening, more fast food, fewer fruits and vegetables and weigh more than people who go to sleep earlier and wake up earlier, according to a new Northwestern Medicine study. Late sleepers consumed 248 more calories a day, twice as much fast food and half as many fruits and vegetables as those with earlier sleep times, according to the study. They also drank more full- calorie sodas... Staying up late every night and sleeping in is a habit that could put you at risk for gaining weight. People who go to bed late and sleep late eat more calories in the evening, more fast food, fewer fruits and vegetables and weigh more than people who go to sleep earlier and wake up earlier, according to a new Northwestern Medicine study. They also had a higher body mass index, a measure of body weight, than normal sleepers. NEW YORK CITY--On Monday morning, hours after U.S. forces killed Osama bin Laden, subway platforms and cars here held more than their usual share of cops. Police officers will continue to clock overtime in the coming days and potentially weeks in the Big Apple. It's been almost ten years since al Qaeda sleepers brought down the World Trade Center towers, but the city isn't taking any chances with news of bin Laden's death. [More] Bella Bathurst's "The secret life of libraries" for The Observer is a sweet and hilarious tribute to libraries and the unflappable vocation of librarianship: There are other uses for libraries. In Marylebone they take a lenient view of sleepers. "As long as they're vertical, it's all right," says Nicky Smith, senior librarian. "If they're horizontal or snoring, then we wake them up. Mind you," she adds cheerily, "we were always told to wake people well before closing time, because if they turn out to be dead, then you won't get home before midnight." Marylebone has particular cause to be vigilant; it has the unusual distinction of being one of the few libraries in Britain where someone has actually died. Edgar Lustgarten was well known as a TV personality during the 50s and 60s. He presented an early version of Crimewatch, talking the viewers through the topical murder- mysteries of the day. On 15 December 1978, he went to the library as usual and was found some time later, dead at his desk. What had he been doing? "Reading the Spectator." Worksop has a resident book-eater. "We kept noticing that pages had been ripped from ... NEW YORK, May 2 (UPI) -- Late New York City sleepers rushed to Ground Zero Monday morning to celebrate the killing of Osama bin Laden, the mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Some people are able to function with far less than the recommended seven or eight hours of sleep a night. "Short sleepers" make up just a small percentage of the population and are more energized than regular sleepers — but that's not all. The mainland certainly seems closer than it used to, but our ignorance of its social structures remains profound There were coasters butting into the gale in the Channel, very much as John Masefield promised there would be, and we flew low enough to see all the paraphernalia on deck – lifeboats, hatches, ropes – and the shimmer of heat just above the funnel. Strong winds had delayed our take-off for hours, and we'd sat anxiously in the Lloyd Loom chairs at the airfield on the Surrey heathland, too nervous to eat breakfast after our night on the train from Scotland. A school trip: none of us had flown before, apart from our French teacher, who had served in the western desert with the RAF, and now sat beside me, drawing on his pipe and explaining that we were flying in a variant of the wartime Dakota. "A bit bumpy – I expect we'll fly under the cloud all the way," he said, as all around us boys retched into their sick bags and, a thousand feet beneath, steep waves collapsed and foamed up the beaches of France. Fields appeared, and then railway lines so ... Less than 3 percent of the population is able to function well on 4 hours of sleep. They are called "short sleepers." As Marisol Castro reports, famous "short sleepers" in history include Leonardo DeVinci and Martha Stewart. WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Consumers should double-check Infant Bed-Side Sleepers which, if not installed properly, pose entrapment, suffocation and fall risks, the government said on Tuesday. WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Consumers should double-check Infant Bed-Side Sleepers which, if not installed properly, pose entrapment, suffocation and fall risks, the government said on Tuesday. Researchers are looking at the genes of natural "short sleepers," people who turn in well after midnight, then get up a few hours later and barrel through the day without naps or caffeine.
