The article I chose was about how a new experiment showed that being hungry is a was to stay awake without feeling groggy or mentally challenged. In the article a group of scientists at Washington University in St. Louis found that being hungry was more important than the need for sleep. The body determines that it would rather be nourished than sleep. They discovered that if we modify our lipids with drugs we can solve or reduce sleep problems without the side effects. There are a lot of problems that result from sleep deprivation and lack of food. As stated in the article, sleep deprivation can result in obesity (which was very interesting to me), and can help with the development of diabetes and coronary disease.
I chose this article because it was very interesting to me. I know I can get extremely groggy when I don't get my rest. I would be very interested to see if this could really work. I really don't think it will however, sleep is just as important as being nourished. No sleep makes you sick and no food makes you sick.
