Melatonin rises when one sleeps and is an internal anti-oxident thus helping reduce aging of cells. This research builds on past work done in Portland,OR, Austin, TX, and Univesity of Alaska.

Wow, that's a good bit of information. Anyway, researches about sleep and its benefits to aging will go a long way I guess, given the very complex engineering of man's internal physical body.

But wait, is this info had anything to say about the posted article? But you know windscreenfly, somehow these teens will soon realize that perhaps they should have not really wasted much of their time clubbing out late. Isn't it also true that enough sleep help foster a good physical wealth and stronger memory, needed when one is studying in school.
