Take it from a recent college grad! I remember how those late night carb boosts became a staple in fueling odd study habits and obvious weight gain. I forgot to value sleep because I could still function and pass classes with less than 7 hours a night. Shoot 8 hours seemed INDULGENT. But sleeping better has really helped the weight come off. This article actually reaffirms the effects of good sleep and weight loss: http://www.organicliaison.com/blog/2010/06/08/how-sleep-helps-weight-loss/

I think it's funny that this is news or that it's signalling out teens. I still do this if I don't get enough sleep.
