Fox 29s joyce evans following those stories and in the studio now, joyce. Hi, iain and lucy. Weve all heard about it before. The importance of getting quality rest every single night but now a new report is focused on the serious damage that poor sleep patterns can cause you in the long run. Theyre talking about this. Researchers found that those bad habits are linked to a higher risk of cancer in mice. Scientists interrupted the body clocksclocks of mice prone to developing cancer by 12 hours every week for year. Now normally they had developed those tumors every 50 week but by regularly disturbing their sleep patterns the tumors appeared about eight weeks earlier.

Now, thats down 51 of the girls and 60 of the boys were having sex at least once in 1988.

The cdc says nearly a quarter of sexually active females 15 to 19 years old used the socalled morning after method at least once in their life. Thats up 8 in 2,002. Now the fda ruling two years ago allowed teenagers to buy plan b the morning after pill over the counter without a prescription.
