Research has long documented that people may pay for shorter slumber with a shorter life span. Sleep is the body's opportunity to rest and repair what the day has wrought, and if your heart is working at its 3 p.m. rate when the clock hits 3 a.m., it's simply going to wear out faster.

...children, and nephews, to swap his cowboy boots for a pair of ice skates. He could never afford to take them to a commercial rink at $5 a head, he says. But the Christmas season has brought a colossal 34,400 square-foot open-air skating rink to the heart of Mexico City, in the central square known as the Zocalo. It's the largest rink in the world, its boosters claim, and more importantly, it's free...
