Just as the body cannot be trained to flourish on 800 calories a day, people cannot teach themselves to function well on just five hours of rest, said Stickgold. Nor did he condone “sleep bulimia,” the “purging” during the week and “bingeing” on the weekend which he said is a common strategy among students. The Community...

Even during this war, the hospital seemed to symbolize the one thing going right for the Army--dramatically improved odds of surviving serious injury and of restoring function among the survivors. Today's soldiers may not be able to stop roadside bombs from blowing off their limbs, but they'll walk out of Walter Reed with bionic arms and legs...
