ATLANTA - Sleepless in Seattle? Hardly. West Virginia is where people are really staying awake, according to the first government study to monitor state-by-state differences in sleeplessness.

Want To Lose Weight? Avoid Skinny Overeaters
If you're looking to lose weight, here's a simple tip: don't dine with the skinny dude who stuffs his face.

"They're big trouble," says Gavan Fitzsimons, a marketing professor at Duke's Fuqua School of Business, and one of the study's co-authors.
