Did you often doze off during class in high school? If you answered “yes,” your old sleeping habits could be a sign that you're likely to commit crimes as an adult, according to a recent study.


Researchers found that teenagers who reported being sleepy in the afternoon tend to be more antisocial, exhibiting behaviors such as lying, cheating, stealing and fighting. Further, those same adolescents were 4.5 times more likely to commit violent crimes by age 29.
