Dear MAD,
  Erratic sleep patterns for a periods of time have an affect on blood 
sugar levels.  Would these erratic patterns(such as going from 10 hours of 
sleep per night for several weeks, to 4 hours of sleep per night) cause 
the blood sugar level to LOWER or RAISE?
  Thank you for your time.

Laura
