Spicy peppers may hold a key to weight loss...

I've always liked hot peppers but not for weight loss.  I've used 'em to fight off colds and just for the joy of it.  Back in college we used to buy those cheap frozen burritos and the hottest peppers we could find.  Then at the first signs of a cold we'd pile on the peppers and sweat and burn the cold out!  Seemed to work, but we always paid for it the next day (if you know what I mean :).

How Many Hours Of Sleep Should You Get? | LIVESTRONG.COM

Interesting article, I knew that you needed to get enough sleep but I'd not read that getting too much can be bad for you. Though I suppose if you're mostly sleeping you're not getting any exercise and there are consequences to that, but I'm thinking that too much sleep leading to depression makes less sense and wonder if its not the other way around. Depression will lead to sleeping more so it showed up in the study that way? In any case its good to know I'm getting my 7hrs most of the time which is just right!
