The Hormones
Deep sleep triggers the release of growth hormone, which fuels growth in children and boosts muscle mass and the repair of cells and tissues in children and adults. The effect of sleep on the release of sex hormones also encourages puberty and fertility.
Consequently, women who work at night and tend to lack sleep are, therefore, more likely to have trouble conceiving or to miscarry.
During sleep, the body creates more cytokines, which are cellular hormones that help the immune system fight various infections. Lack of sleep can reduce the ability to fight off common infections. Research also reveals that a lack of sleep can reduce the response of the body to the flu vaccine. For example, sleep-deprived volunteers given the flu vaccine produced less than half as many flu antibodies as those who were well rested and given the same vaccine.
Although lack of exercise and other factors are important contributors, the current epidemic of diabetes and obesity appears to be related, at least in part, to chronically getting inadequate sleep. Evidence is growing that sleep is a powerful regulator of appetite, energy use and weight control. During sleep, the body increases the production of the appetite suppressor leptin and the appetite stimulant grehlin decreases. Studies find that the less people sleep, the more likely these people are to be overweight or obese and prefer eating foods that are higher in calories and carbohydrates. People who report an average total sleep time of five hours a night, for example, are much more likely to become obese compared to people who sleep seven to eight hours a night.
A number of hormones released during sleep also control the use of energy by the body. A distinct rise and fall of blood sugar levels during sleep appears to relate to sleep stage. Not getting enough sleep overall or not getting enough of each stage of sleep disrupts this pattern. One study found that, when healthy young men slept only four hours a night for six nights in a row, their insulin and blood sugar levels mimicked those seen in people who were developing diabetes. Another study found that women who slept less than seven hours a night were more likely to develop diabetes over time than those who slept between seven and eight hours a night.
This is the Government on Crack
The war of drugs is now four-decades old. President Nixon started the campaign in 1971. After thousands of deaths, millions of arrests and billions of tax dollars spent, drug prohibition remains solidly intact despite fervent debate contesting the effectiveness of this now forty-year old policy.
A recent report by LEAP, the Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, details how the current administration policies continue to do more harm than good despite the Obama rhetoric to the contrary. LEAP members consist of current and former local, state and federal law enforcement agencies that have battled the war on drugs. According to former Baltimore narcotics officer and LEAP director, Neil Franklin, the United States jails more people than any other country in the world, making nearly two million drug arrests a year.
Drug Czar
The Obama administration and his drug czar, Gil Kerlikowske, the head of the Office of National Drug Control Policy, now devote more resources to policing than prevention. The 2004 federal drug budget was split 55 percent for supply reduction, policing and 45 percent for demand reduction, prevention and treatment. The 2012 Obama budget now has a 60 percent increase in policing while reducing prevention and treatment to 40 percent.
Obama rhetoric with regard to medical marijuana has been more talk than walk. During 8 years of the Bush administration there were about 200 federal raids, while under Obama there have already been about 100 raids in just two and a half years, notes LEAP.
The drug war only empowers the structures they purport to combat, reports former DEA agent, Sean Dunagan, who worked in Mexico and Guatemala. The illicit drug trade is big business and the prohibitionist model only turns a multi-billion dollar industry over to the criminal cartels. The huge profit incentive combined with powerfully resilient criminal organizations have shown that prohibition is a failure and alternatives need to be sought to address the problem of addiction as a social problem. While LEAP members acknowledge that ending prohibition will not defeat the drug cartels, it will decrease the power of the cartels.
The report by LEAP is only one of many that support ending prohibition for a four-decade old policy.
