Lack of sleep linked to midlife fat, study says
University of Chicago researchers report a link between aging, reduced deep sleep, and lower growth hormone levels that may drive midlife fat buildup in men. The study, covering 149 men ages 16 to 83, notes deep sleep declines after 35 with rising sleep interruptions and REM reduction after 50, while growth hormone falls.

New Jersey Supreme Court strikes down parental notification law
The court on Tuesday invalidated a state statute requiring minors to notify a parent before obtaining an abortion. Chief Justice Deborah Poritz wrote that the notification imposes an excessive burden on a young woman's constitutional rights, despite steps to protect parental rights.
