Read an article a while back about a doctor who'd been misdiagnozing peoples maladies. One lady he claimed had a vitamin allergy of some sort, so he restricted her diet to avoid it at all costs. She started bleeding from her gums and stuff, then finally got a phone call from the hospital urging her to get re-tested - turned out the doc in question had a brain tumour that'd fucked up his reasoning skills. He died shortly after.Every once in a while I contemplate how many really important revisions have been made by folks lacking sleep (or suffering from various maladies ore modern medicine). It’s a goddamn miracle the world is as good as it is!
Stuff of nightmares.
It's not been lifelong for me, started in my mid 20s and has come and gone in periods.. Have you done any sleep studies? I did one and they theorize I have a circadian rhythm a lot longer than 24 hours. Really fucks up when working steady hours, though vacations help a lot.
