Thank you, Sherlock. Thank you, Quantum.; १५/५/१२, ९:४१ AM
Bob Ellison म्हणाले...: Danger, store fat. My local grocery has that on a government-mandated sign next to the bacon section.

Danger, store fat. When I hear gunshots, I instinctively put olive oil in the freezer.

Danger, store fat. When the economy goes bad, I vote for Democrats.; १५/५/१२, ९:४५ AM
ndspinelli म्हणाले...: Maybe the First Lady should have Ambien distributed gratis by the government to all obese people.; १५/५/१२, १०:१२ AM
kjbe म्हणाले...: I know when I'm tired, my self-discipline wanes and I can gravitate toward comfort foods (and I don't feel like doing anything, i.e. exercising). I guess that might make a line from wanting to feel comfortable, to safe, to not-in-danger. I dunno...; १५/५/१२, १०:३६ AM

अनामित म्हणाले...: Shift workers tend toward obesity and other health issues. It's unnatural to be awake during the hours of darkness. There is data out there regarding hours of light on the retina, melatonin production and insomnia.

Many years of working third shift in the hospitals ruined my circadian rhythm.; १५/५/१२, ११:२४ AM
raf म्हणाले...: Eating is a good way to keep awake while driving (for example) when sleep-deprived.; १५/५/१२, ११:२६ AM

अनामित म्हणाले...: The mechanics of sleep deprivation and it's consequences

Interesting!; १५/५/१२, ११:४८ AM
The Crack Emcee म्हणाले...: We are thinking about this whole subject in the wrong manner, and as long as we do so, it'll keep getting worse.

Unfortunately, cultish thinking isn't malleable,...; १५/५/१२, १२:०७ PM
shirley elizabeth म्हणाले...: I gained weight through college. Given the options of sleep, social life, and school and only able to choose two I chose the latter (although if I could add work to the list, I chose that, too). I assumed the weight gain came from eating to stay awake through late night essays and library stops. Or that my body was finally going through puberty.; १५/५/१२, १२:०८ PM

अनामित म्हणाले...: Pffft. It means "I'm nervous. Can't sleep. Where is ice cream or new cracker treats from Trader Joe's?"
