For
the first time, there’s evidence that poor sleep can raise your risk of
disease. Researchers found that subjects who slept less than six hours
a day with alternating work shifts had a slower metabolism and a
decrease in insulin. Scientists say the chronic sleep deprivation could
lead to diabetes and obesity. Source Link
The
online world isn’t for everyone. A new report says one out of five
American adults doesn’t use the Internet. Of those, about half say they
don’t need an online connection to keep up with the world. The un-wired
are mostly older, less educated, and the poor, but the report says
there’s much less of a gap between the percentage of whites and
minorities who are online. Source Link
It
may not be not rocket science getting a better deal on a new car, but
there’s evidence that research can save you big bucks on that next set
of wheels. A study found that car buyers could save an average of $800
by bargaining at two dealerships after knowing what the dealer paid for
the car. Those who just knew the cost and visited two dealerships paid
$200 less. Source Link
