That makes a lot of sense. Last year I got maybe 4 hours a night and I would stay up working on English and I'd eat to stay awake. I didn't gain a ton of weight, but I put on a few pounds... I did a lot of walking though -- I started wearing a pedometer last year and I walked between 6-7k steps a day. Even that much helped -- I lost just a few pounds by the end of the year, but I would love to do 8-9k a day on a regular basis.

I'm so glad I'm in college now -- I can sleep! Well, sort of..
