Check out the results of their test:

•Participants consumed an average of 296 calories more when they were sleep-deprived compared with when they were well-rested.

Great news huh!  At this point we can now explain away our bellies and/or get a little extra sleep.  I'm totally down with all of this.   Now I'm going to go have a Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pie!

YEAHBOY!

A salute to Little Debbies
