Science rules!

Bit of information floated my way (though I wish more did...I need another 3-day weekend, darnit): Apparently there's now scientific proof that glucose (sugar in the form absorbed by the body from food) causes you to get sleepy.

Oh yay, oh yay, the siesta is vindicated.

But perhaps more pertinently, it seems that avoiding excess sugar (including natural sugars, such as in fruit), especially during "Shit I'm Tired Week" and right after waking up, would be wise.

Thanks to my heroes at scienceblog.com for the article.
