To lose weight, we try to cut back on calories, right? Well, a friend
of mine lost 5 pounds in a month eating the same food, but cutting 30
minutes of sleep each night. I wonder what implications this has. I
think it's much easier to cut back on sleep than on calories, provided
you're not eating empty calories to begin with (which are of course
easy to cut out).

I find that if I sleep more I eat less.  In fact, sometimes I go to
sleep to avoid eating.

Whatever works.

I heard from a friend recently about an interesting study - the study showed
that people with very low IQ's can lose weight by staying at least 4 feet
away from computer keyboards.

I think this approach would work very well for you.  Does anyone else agree?
