Split and continuous sleep in teens impact cognition and glucose levels differently -- ScienceDaily

Good morning, to all of you early birds -

We all probably have trouble fitting everything into our busy schedules, and sometimes our sleep is shortchanged.  Do you get enough sleep?  Is one long bout of sleep better than two shorter bouts?  Why do we need to sleep, anyway?

These are just a few of the many interesting questions about sleep, and scientists are tackling them, one small step at a time.  One recent study (link below) suggests that, if you can't get a full 9 hrs of overnight sleep, having an early nap followed by a relatively short overnight sleep may, in fact, not be so bad.
