Glycogen
Glucose refills muscle glycogen, Fructose refuels your liver. Your muscles can hold about 300 grams while your liver can hold about 120. Table sugar is a disaccharide, it is a linkage of one fructose and one glucose molecule. So if you try to fill up your muscles but your liver is full the liver turns the fructose into triglycerides and then sticks it onto a LDL cholesterol particle which carries it to your fatty areas where its converted into and stored as flab! Solution is to refuel with starches as they are strings of just glucose, it all goes to the muscles (until they are full then to fat cells, well the brain grabs a bit, too).

A New Dawn
"this general lack of regard for sleep is a shame. However, use of a dawn simulation - a special light exposure at the end of your sleep time - seems both to help sleep and improve mood." -Beyond Prozac by Michael J. Norden, M.D.
