MSNBC gives us this little tidbit:

Rich folks get more sleep

People with less money may have more worries keeping them awake

NEW YORK - In a study of sleep characteristics in 669 adults in Chicago who were compared by sex and race, investigators found that blacks got less sleep than whites, while men got less sleep than women.

In addition, the wealthier you are, the more sleep you're likely to get, Dr. Diane S. Lauderdale of the University of Chicago and her colleagues found.


In other news, Al-Associated Press is reporting that the unemployed have more leisure time than those with jobs. Apparently, the working want officials who will pursue an aggressive policy of "time redistribution."
