Q: Are there benefits for people who sleep well?
Sharon M., Fort Lauderdale, Florida
A: Yes, a Chicago study found that people who don't get enough sleep tend to be fatter than those who do. In fact, experts were so encouraged by their findings, they seek to prove a direct link between sufficient sleep and waging (a winning!) war against obesity. Their findings suggest that major extensions of sleep time may not be necessary, as an extra 20 minutes of sleep per night seems to be associated with a lower body mass index.
