Interesting Fact - Sleep

Research into sleeping patterns carried out at the University of Surrey, have shown that working night shifts sends the human body into chaos, and could cause lasting damage to health. (Working irregular shifts has a similar effect to severe jet lag or repeatedly missing sleep. Even more worryingly it has a damaging effect at the level of our DNA, with hundreds of genes, whose activity should rise and fall on a daily basis, losing their rhythm, and other genes developing abnormal cycles of their own. So basically not getting enough sleep is bad for you, and sleeping at the wrong time is bad for you too.  We can't win!) Source

Interesting Fact - UK Postcodes

The postcode with the highest income in the country is KT19, for West Ewell, near Epsom in Surrey. (In America they have zip codes and in the UK we have post codes, because we post things, we don't zip things - apart from the obvious that is. As for KT19 - I've Never lived there for some reason.)
