> How much obesity and depression could be prevented or alleviated just by making sure people could get a decent night's sleep? There's some body chemistry where being sleep deprived can manifest itself as hunger. I forget the details, but I read about it in "Why We Sleep"[0]. When I had a sleep study done, the pre-study questionnaire seemed to have more about depression symptoms than about sleep itself.
