 2010-09-02 Starvation may keep brain sharp - Health - Health and Fitness - Life and Style - The Times of IndiaLike humans, flies deprived of sleep one day will try to make up for it by sleeping more the next day, a phenomenon referred to as sleep debt. Scientists tested the starving, sleepless flies for two markers of sleep debt: an enzyme in saliva and the flies ability to learn to associate a light with an unpleasant stimulus. Both tests showed that the starving flies were not getting sleepy. Flies with the LSD2 (Lipid storage droplet 2) mutation were less likely to sleep for longer periods of time and continued to score high on the learning test. Stay hungry and sleep-deprived to stay sharp - that seems to be the idea, at least as far as fruit flies are concerned. - Starvation sleep deprivation

2010-08-22 Pakistan poised for victory as collapse follows Cooks century - Cricket, Sport - The IndependentNone of this was yet of import at the start of play. All the attention was on Cook. When he went out to bat at the start, unbeaten on nought having faced two balls the night before, he was out of form and shortly to be out of favour. Under his helmet, he was a picture of anxiety, and dark circles beneath his eyes betrayed a week of sleepless nights. It was his 13th Test hundred and his first on home soil for 18 innings. It was a wonderful example of how to react to the most exacting of circumstances. Why, by the end, he was in something like form. Cook must have asked himself a thousand times as he turned over in his bed how he should approach this innings. Having come up with no answer he might have asked the question a thousand times more. Alastair Cook saved his career yesterday. For England, it was about the only good thing to emerge from the third Test.
