He reports the effects of lack of sleep on sugar levels, highlighted by researchers who carried out studies on three groups of adolescents. And we discover that sleeping in is not so good after all. In these three groups, one was sleep deprived, another was able to sleep in, and a third was getting just enough sleep.
