That consistent sleep, tho. People seem to really underestimate how nice sleep is, and how easy it is to fuck it up. Myself included. I asked my doctor if I might have ADHD because I was always unable to focus and felt lazy and lethargic. His response was "no you dumb-ass go see a Sleep Doctor." Actually I think I've talked about this before, but whatevs. One night at the Children's Hospital later:"Yeah, so you have, like, CRIPPLING sleep apnea. And your sinuses are straight ruined right now. How do you even breath? You should probably go fix that." One CPAP, 45 min on an elliptical every day, and a few sinus rinses later, and I was sleeping like a baby and waking up like I could take on the world - no medication required. The more I read about how people sleep, the more I realized that we generally don't do a very good job of it.
Praise god for decent doctors. Fuck the diagnose-and-dash ADHD trend. How many children have been fucked up permanently because they're told when they're seven that -- because kids aren't meant to be in a box all day and thus can't always pay attention in school, holy shit -- they have a 'disorder' and time to get on the pills, welcome to adulthood! Fuck you! Ha!I asked my doctor if I might have ADHD because I was always unable to focus and felt lazy and lethargic. His response was "no you dumb-ass go see a Sleep Doctor."
