today scientists say this crabbiness isn't connected to how little sleep they're getting is. researchers at johns hopkins took 62 healthy adult and divided them into three groups, one could sleep as much as they wanted, the two other groups were either kept upt late, then allowed to sleep or briefly awaked up to eight times through the night. next day. but as the experiment continued a surprising twist. the group that was interrupted felt worse and worse in both mood and energy levels. it grew with time even when they were getting the same overall amount of sleep as the others. scientists think the fact that the interrupted group got less slow wave sleep results in those mood and energy changes, perhaps it's a first step to help the 10% of americans who stuff from

insomnia, the ones who wake often during the night. and it may provide reassurance to new parents that it's aall in their brains, not in their heads. with in medical minute, i'm dr. timothy johnson. jean: at least there's an extra hour this weekend. we're working on more for news at 5:30. josh: a u.s. representative teams up with new hampshire law enforcement and medical professionals to find out what is and is not working in the fight against drugs. jean: looks like the pumpkin shortage won't come to an end after halloween, how it could impact your thanksgiving dessert. josh: the math department at john stark regional high school certainly appears ready for
