A new study gathered from tracking 2,000 US kids for the past five years suggests that hours of sleep matter. Children who got more sleep were less likely to be over weight compared to those who got fewer hours sleep.

An extra hour of sleep cut the likelihood of being overweight from 36 percent to 30 percent in children ages 3 to 8, and from 34 to 30 percent in those ages 8 to 13.

The researchers found that children who got less sleep were more likely to be overweight and have higher body mass index measures than those who got more sleep, even when factors such as race, ethnicity and parents’ income and educational level were considered.

To the parents of the world, PUT YOUR KIDS TO BED AT A REASONABLE HOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kate Bosworth has reportedly moved back in with her mum because her mum was so worried about Kate’s recent weight loss.

According to Look magazine, Kate’s mum Patricia was worried when she saw how thin her daughter had become and has made her promise to gain (and maintain) 10 pounds over the next six month.

A friend of the family’s told the magazine: “[Kate]’s pulled back from the social circuit and has been spending lots of time with her mum. They hang out and shop and Kate’s mum cooks for her.”

“Kate’s mum was appalled by her recent appearance. Kate tried to talk her way out of it, saying that the flu caused her to lose weight and that she had everything under control. But [Patricia] knew she’d lost weight since her split from Orlando Bloom.”

“That type of talk might work with friends, but the old saying – mum knows best – really is true.”
