When reading this section I learned a lot of things. Probably one of the things that stuck in my head the most would be that sleep deprivation has a big affect on gaining weight. I did not know that sleep deprivation increases the hunger-arousing hormone ghrelin and decreases its hunger-suppressing partner, leptin. I didn't think that sleep deprivation had such a big affect on the factor of weight. Probably the most suprising thing to me was the affect that sleep has on the gainof weight and the loss of weight.
One thing that I would agree with in this chapter is that kids these days are getting two hours less sleep each night than did their counterparts of 80 years ago. I agree with it because I am one of those kids that don't get enough sleep at night time. Usually I am up late studying or getting homework done.
There really isn't anything that I would disagree about in this chapter because I think that it is all true .

I would also agree that kids aren't getting enough sleep these days. It seems that we have way more stuff to do than time to do it, so we have to go into our sleeping hours.
