Is there a scientific explaination to how sleep patterns work?
I was up until 1:30am helping a friend with a presenation - he then left and I couldn't sleep until about 5am - I fell asleep watching TV and the sound of the TV woke me up about 7:30am so only maybe 2 hours sleep. I wanted to go back to sleep but he called and had to help him again.
Been up all lday and around 5pm had a hard time staying awake, I was fighting to keep my eyes opwn but was starving so had an early dinner at 6:30pm - I think after the food I perked up a lot and now not sleepy.
I don't understand where my 2nd wind came from usless it's from the dinner and 1 can of coke I had?
I have an arwful sleep pattern - does food play a big role in perking you up or not making you sleepy? I tend to eat very late at night and wondering if that's what is keeping me up.

It might be worth looking in the Fitness forum for more info - I think there are a couple of regulars in there who are into all the body-building and protein drinks malarky (no offence! my ex used to be into it and it drove me mad!) who might know more about carbs and digestion
