SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
Losing around 90 minutes of sleep per night could quietly add pounds, according to new research. A 6-week study of 95 adults found that those who slept 78 minutes less per night gained about a pound and saw their waistlines expand slightly. Surprisingly, scans detected no measurable increase in the body fat or muscle. Researchers also found that participants spent more time sitting during the sleep-deprived period, while exercise levels remained unchanged. The study suggests that even modest, ongoing sleep loss may affect weight regulation – and that sacrificing sleep might not be as harmless as we think.

“American Idol” is set to sing again. ABC has renewed the series for Season 25, with auditions kicking off next month. The renewal is not a surprise, given that the previous season launched with its biggest season premiere in 4 years. Season 24 starred Luke Bryan, Lionel Richie and Carrie Underwood as judges. They are all expected to return for Season 25, although their deals are still being worked out, as is usual for Idol. Ryan Seacrest has hosted since the show debuted on FOX in 2002. American Idol will return in the New Year.
“Ted Lasso” has officially returned to the pitch. Apple TV has released the first teaser trailer for Season 4, and it’s exactly what you expect: lots of hugging, cheering and some great footwork. The award-winning comedy will premiere on Aug. 5 with one episode. New episodes will be released weekly through Oct. 7. This season, ‘Ted’ will face his biggest challenge to date — coaching Richmond’s second division women’s football team. The talent and passion are there, but the money, fan support and training aren’t, and Ted has to learn he can’t rely on his old tricks when it comes to coaching the fairer (and fiercer) sex.

Chuck Lorre has one major pet peeve when it comes to streaming. The longtime TV producer says he “always thought it was horrible that there’s a “skip” button on intros to streaming shows.” That’s why he came up with a plan to shake things up for “Stuart Fails to Save the Universe”, the latest “Big Bang Theory” spinoff. Chuck quote: “The only solution we could come up with was you have to make it entertaining.” His strategy becomes clear from the very first episode. The opening sequence begins with the words “do NOT skip!” along with an arrow pointing directly at the streaming service’s “Skip Intro” button. It then zooms through the show’s multiverse.

OF THE DAY
The ideal movie length is just 88 minutes, according to a new survey. Talker Research found that moviegoers want to spend less time in theaters than even 2 years ago, when the average desired film length was 4 minutes longer. And movie patience clearly correlates with age. Older fans are good with movies lasting up to 93 minutes. Gen X prefers an average of 89 minutes. Millennial viewers? 86 minutes. And for Gen Z audiences, the best length for a film is just…82 minutes. As for how these watch times might affect your choices this summer, just 2 notable new releases come close: “Minions & Monsters” at 90 minutes, and “Jackass: Best and Last”, which runs 92 minutes.

WEIRD NEWS
I never thought even an airline would stoop so low: Jetstar will soon charge passengers extra to put their carry-on bags…in the overhead bins. Starting next February, the Australian budget airline will charge at least 25 Australian dollars (about US $18) each way, depending on the route. The move is designed to reduce boarding delays and the stress of crowded overhead lockers (or so they say…). Passengers can still bring a purse, laptop bag or small backpack that fits under the seat for free. Overhead bags can weigh up to 10kg (22 pounds), while the previous 7kg limit for under-seat bags will be eliminated. Jetstar defended the change by saying it will make boarding smoother – and it’ll ensure customers only pay for what they need.
