"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"For millions of people, fighting to stay awake at their desk, on the commute home, or even mid-conversation is a daily struggle. Now, scientists believe the reason why some people are far more prone to overwhelming drowsiness may be due to their diet and hormones. Researchers have identified seven metabolites, which are naturally occurring chemicals in the blood, that appear to influence a person's risk of Excessive Daytime Sleepiness (EDS). EDS, also known as hypersomnia, affects around one in four Britons, and is linked to a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, obesity and diabetes."
The Independent solicits donations to fund on-the-ground reporting and to keep journalism freely accessible without paywalls, funded by those who can afford it. Scientists identified seven blood metabolites that appear to influence risk of Excessive Daytime Sleepiness (EDS), with diet and hormones implicated as contributors. The research analyzed blood samples from more than 6,000 participants alongside questionnaires measuring daytime sleepiness. EDS, also called hypersomnia, affects about one in four Britons and correlates with higher risks of cardiovascular disease, obesity and diabetes. Tyramine, found in fermented and overripe foods, was specifically linked to increased drowsiness, particularly in men.
