UT Southwestern researchers identify molecule that helps the sleep-deprived to mentally rebound
Sleep experts know that the mental clarity lost because of a few sleepless nights can often be restored with a good night's rest. Now, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have identified a key molecular mechanism that regulates the brain's ability to mentally compensate for sleep deprivation. view more (2009-02-24)
Should women be more dominant in the bedroom?
Research by Sue Venn of the University of Surrey shows that women are much more likely to passively accept their partner's snoring than men. This means that women whose partners snore can lose up to five hour's sleep a week, and this sleep deprivation can lead to greater daytime sleepiness, with serious implications for driving and other daytime... view more...

Searching for shut eye: Penn study identifies possible sleep gene
While scientists and physicians know what happens if you don't get six to eight hours of shut-eye a night, investigators have long been puzzled about what controls the actual need for sleep. Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine might have an answer, at least in fruit flies. In a recent study of fruit flies, they... view more... (2008-07-30)
Deprived areas show greatest increase in teenage pregnancies
From the 1980s to the 1990s rates of teenage pregnancy in Scotland increased more rapidly in areas of greater socioeconomic deprivation, finds a study in this week's BMJ. This finding has implications for allocating resources to achieve government targets in reducing pregnancy rates by 2010. Research carried out at Glasgow University investigated... view more...
