The good news in all this is that you can repair the damage from
inadequate sleep
fairly quickly. The system is very quick to respond. For
example, the young men
in the diabetes study returned to a normal state of glucose
tolerance after just afew nights of regular sleep. Many of these
conditions will repair themselves --
unless, of course, you get so chronically sleep deprived that
youve caused
permanent damage to your health.
