But even the most rigorous students need a bit of shuteye every once and a while, whether under a desk or inside an installation. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/usczzz/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">@usczzz</a> documents passed out students from the <a href="http://archinect.com/uscarchitecture" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">USC School of Architecture</a>. Turns out where&mdash;and how&mdash;they sleep is almost as creative as the work they&rsquo;re doing.</p><p><img title="" alt="" src="http://cdn.archinect.net/images/650x/l5/l5idvkcnr7bsmzz0.jpg"><img title="" alt="" src="http://cdn.archinect.net/images/650x/6x/6xgagmpo077jm3pr.jpg"><img title="" alt="" src="http://cdn.archinect.net/images/650x/3u/3uxhmo5h0j8cn1ww.jpg"><img title="" alt="" src="http://cdn.archinect.net/images/650x/vk/vkeac3wjhm4l4ko0.jpg"><img title="" alt="" src="http://cdn.archinect.net/images/650x/6h/6hkf1meo35exd4qn.jpg"></p><p>Apparently, the sleepy &lsquo;gram was inspired by a similar one at <a href="http://archinect.com/sciarc" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">SCI-Arc</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sciarc_sleepcam/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">@sciarc_sleepcam</a>.</p> https://archinect.com/news/article/141279707/one-night-s-bad-sleep-equivalent-to-six-months-on-a-high-fat-diet-new-study-finds One night's bad sleep equivalent to six months on a high-fat diet, new study finds Amelia Taylor-Hochberg 2015-11-17T12:58:00-05:00 >2018-01-30T06:16:04-05:00 <img src="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/ub/ubctftwkczgzfyl6.jpg?fit=crop&auto=compress%2Cformat&enlarge=true&w=1200" border="0" /><em><p>New research finds that one night of sleep deprivation and six months on a high-fat diet could both impair insulin sensitivity to a similar degree, demonstrating the importance of a good night&rsquo;s sleep on health. [...] When the body becomes less sensitive to insulin ... it needs to produce more insulin to keep blood sugar stable. This may eventually lead to Type 2 diabetes, a disease where the body&rsquo;s insulin response doesn&rsquo;t work properly and there is too much sugar in the blood.</p></em><br /><br /><p>Students: take note.
