Sleepless in West Virginia
Last night I was up late firing my glue gun at the finishing details on my daughter's Halloween costume, so I was a little groggy this morning. Most of the time I do get plenty of rest, but according to a recent study, sleeplessness is a major US problem. Americans suffer from chronic lack of sleep, and the problem is most prevalent in the southeastern United States, particularly in West Virginia.

It is being reported that the Medicaid program in one of the country's most overweight states, West Virginia, is turning to Weight Watchers to help with the ongoing obesity problem.
Up to 75,000 West Virginians will soon be eligible for free weight loss courses through Weight Watchers, thanks to an effort by the state Medicaid program and the health benefits group UniCare, the largest provider of Medicaid coverage in the state. I think it's a great idea since one of the largest roadblocks to losing weight is money.
