Poor sleep in pregnancy can disrupt the immune system and cause birth-related complications Posted: 17 Jul 2013 01:47 PM PDT Poor sleep quality and quantity during pregnancy can disrupt normal immune processes and lead to lower birth weights and other complications, a new study finds. Women with depression also are more likely than non-depressed women to suffer from disturbed sleep and to experience immune system disruption and adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Unattractive people more likely to be bullied at work Posted: 17 Jul 2013 01:47 PM PDT It's common knowledge that high school can be a cruel environment where attractive students are considered "popular," and unattractive kids often get bullied.
