Interesting timing

Yesterday there was an article on Yahoo.com's home page lamenting lack of sleep in youth, claiming lack of sleep as a newly found cause of diabetes. Sure, I don't doubt lack of sleep might affect the possibility of diabetes; however, being skeptical I must also note that lack of sleep also increases the chance of falling asleep at the wheel.

However, what I find really interesting is the timing of this article alerting the public to the dangers of lack of sleep, because today's article talks about a magical nasal spray that will eliminate sleepiness.

Lack of sleep = sleepiness = magical nasal spray = not sleepy = no diabetes?

Whatever, it's just funny; here's the article on lack of sleep = diabetes: http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/92854.php
