Washington, Sep 6: People, who were deprived of one night's sleep, bought more calories and grams of food in a mock supermarket the next day, according to a new study.
Researchers in Sweden were curious about whether sleep deprivation could impair or alter a person's food purchasing choices based on its established tendency to impair higher-level thinking and to increase hunger.
On the morning after one night of total sleep deprivation, as well as after one night of sleep, first author Colin Chapman, MSc, of Uppsala University, along with Christian Benedict, PhD, and their colleagues, gave 14 normal-weight men a fixed budget (approximately 50 dollars).
The men were instructed to purchase as much as they could out.

People generally have one of two reactions when shown the new Lotus Evora. The majority take in its mesomorphic and tent-pitching stature and say something like, “That’s Italian, right?” (wrong). Meanwhile, a slim minority immediately start ranting about company founder Colin Chapman—his mantra of conjuring power and agility by “adding lightness,” and the juicy reveal of Sharon Stone’s Havana brown in Basic Instinct, a film in which she famously drove the marque’s trapezoidal Esprit. My friend Bobby, however, had a different insight, derived from spending time both inside and outside the contortionate yet commodious two-seater. “It’s an optical illusion.” He was, as he is in most things, absolutely right.
