I knew that getting adequate sleep was important but I didn't realize how much it affected metabolism and cortisol production. Yowza! I am, however, well aware that, when I'm tired, the doughnuts I usually pass by with nary a glance start calling my name. And when I'm tired, grouchy, and strung out on a sugar high, it's not a pretty combination. This is a real eye-opener to make sure I get enough shut-eye. Thanks! WOW!!
