6 SIGNS YOU NEED MORE SLEEP
Do any of these apply to you?
"1. You're not hungry for lunch. A lack of sleep can make you constantly want to eat more, or persistently feel like you're not hungry. It throws off your internal clock resulting in abnormal feelings, which is why so many people lose or gain weight during periods of sleeplessness.
2. You've looked at three other Web sites in the last 5 minutes, and checked your email twice. No, you (probably) don't have Attention Deficit Disorder. Whether you're writing a quick email or solving chemical equations; a lack of sleep can make focusing seem impossible.
3. You can't remember where you put the car keys. Your brain needs sleep to refresh and regenerate. Without it, your short-term memory may be impaired, which is why pulling an all-nighter rarely yields better results than getting quality shut-eye, according to Dr. Neil Kline, a sleep physician and representative of the American Sleep Association.
4. You can't carry on a conversation. Come Saturday night you may work a party like a pro, but as long as you're sleep-deficient, coming up with witty, or even coherent, one-liners is out of the question.
5. You're drowsy at the wheel. Your eyes may glaze over now and then when you're staring at the computer screen or stuck in an endless meeting, but if you struggle to stay awake behind the wheel, or doing any task that puts your life at risk, you're not just bored. You need more sleep.
Caffeinated drinks, blasting music, or rolling down the windows (in January) may arouse you briefly, but it won't keep you alert for long drives.
6. You feel sick, and you never get sick. Your immune system repairs and strengthens while you sleep. So in addition to eating flu-fighting foods, log at least seven hours a night to stay healthy all season."

MOEBIUS SYNDROME IN THE NEWS
You may have already seen this story, but in case you haven't...read more about young Moebius hero Jack Marshall, from Great Britain, and the honor he will receive:
"
FOUR people from the Isle will have the honour of carrying the Olympic Flame as it makes its way towards London this summer.

Belton pair Jack Marshall (13) and Jonathan Buckley (27) will both take their turn carrying the torch on Tuesday, June 26, as it travels from Armthorpe, near Doncaster, towards Scunthorpe.
Crowle paratriathlete Alan Rayment (36) will also take hold of the Olympic Flame on the same day as it passes through the Isle, close to the A18 near Ealand and the High Levels Bank.
Making up the ‘fantastic four’ is Axholme Academy schoolgirl Katie Chester, of Eastoft, who will pick up the torch on June 27 as it travels from Cleethorpes to Lincoln.
Jonathan, training for the Brighton Marathon on April 15 and the London Marathon just seven days later, both for charity, reacted to the Olympic news.
“You each do 500 metres but I won’t find out which section until the day before,” he explained.
“I’m very excited and it’s nice the organisers are recognising small places, not just big towns and cities.”
An average of 115 torchbearers a day will carry the Olympic Flame during its 8,000 mile journey around the UK, starting on May 19 and ending at the Olympic Stadium on July 27.
Once there, the flame will light the cauldron at the opening ceremony, signifying the official start of the London Games.
Alan is a bilateral amputee who has been in a wheelchair since 1997 but this has not stopped the father-of-two raising thousands of pounds for charity via various sporting challenges.
“It’s fantastic to be given the opportunity to carry the torch, it will be a phenomenal experience, one to tell the grandchildren about,” he added.
Alan, of Windsor Road, has also secured tickets to watch the Paralympic Games which will follow on from the Olympics.
And as a National Facilitator for Sports Matters, he is doing his bit to create 40,000 volunteers for the games and its subsequent legacy.
He also applauded the third Isle torch bearer, Jack Marshall, who, like Alan, has overcome disability to raise thousands of pounds for worthy causes.
Jack, of Green Lane, suffers from a rare neurological  condition called Moebius Syndrome which affects his life in many ways - and he was once told by doctors that he would never walk.
“Jack deserves this honour as he’s always climbing mountains or running races for charity,” said Alan.
“This is what any Paralympic or Olympic Games is all about, bringing communities together and getting the best out of people. Jack Marshall deserves every bit of this.”
Jack’s proud mum, Linda, said she would be buying an Olympic torch and holder to remember the unique event.
She added: “I think Jack appreciates the significance of the occasion and we will be watching and supporting him on the route.”
The fourth Isle torch bearer is 14-year-old Katie Chester who was the unanimous nomination of Axholme Academy staff.
Teachers recognised her commitment to all aspects of academic life, including sporting and musical achievements, involvement with the school council and her many extra-curricular activities. “I am really excited and really didn’t think they would pick me,” said Katie, of Washinghall Lane. I have always watched the Olympics when it’s been in other countries and it’s really good that it’s coming here. This is a once in a lifetime thing and it’ll be something I always remember.”
