Fat people have a higher incidence of sleep apnea, which results in bad sleep.
"Being deprived of sleep even for one night makes the brain unstable and prone to sudden shutdowns akin to a power failure -- brief lapses that hover between sleep and wakefulness, researchers said on Tuesday...
The findings suggest that people who are sleep-deprived alternate between periods of near-normal brain function and dramatic lapses in attention and visual processing...He said the lapses seem to suggest that loss of sleep renders the brain incapable of fully fending off the involuntary drive to sleep.
He said the study makes it clear how dangerous sleep deprivation can be while driving on the highway, when even a four-second lapse could lead to a major accident.
'These are not just academic interests,' he said."
Indeed.
Now, complain about the mistaken approach to weight loss by notifying your political representatives and make the roads (waterways and skies) safer.
The life you save may be yours or your loved one's.
