Hi Seth,
A bit off-topic but FYI with regard to one of your (and my) favorite themes, animal fat and sleep, one of my PaleoHackers reports similar effects:
“OK, so I know this isn’t exactly rigorous clinical research, but I swear I need less sleep during the weeks in which I consume a lot of eggs (approx. 6-8 eggs/day). I can’t think of any other factor off the top of my head. Anybody notice this?”
