Cold hard facts: why staying up late will result in your untimely demise

Some quick facts, Dwight Shrute style:

FACT: People who report getting ~4 hours of sleep per night are twice as likely as the general population to die within six years.

(Sleeping too much can cause bad times as well - those who report sleeping for more than 10 per night are ALSO twice as likely to die within six years)

FACT: Dr. Dement estimates that 95-100% of Stanford undergrads don't get enough sleep.

FACT: The human body naturally heals wounds, rejuvenates its muscular and skeletal systems, and processes memories during sleep.

The moral of the story: sleep or die a horrible, zombie-like death.
