Obese kids who snore more sleepy in the daytime

Maybe they will be too tired to keep eating.
"Obese children who have difficulty breathing while they sleep have excessive daytime sleepiness compared with slimmer children who are also chronic snorers, new research in the journal Pediatrics shows.

The symptoms in heavy children are 'strikingly reminiscent of excessive daytime sleepiness patterns in adults with obstructive sleep apnea,' Drs. David Gozal and Leila Kheirandish-Gozal of the University of Louisville in Kentucky write."
Obstructive sleep apnea is what fat people get.

It is not for adults anymore.

Just like Type 2 diabetes.

Kudos, fatsos.
