So Steve, are you still on the medication? Or, did you find out about it early
enough in your career to fix it? You know what I mean. Your sleep issues
while working. I thought this non24 thing was a fairly new revelation with the
studies finally providing a medical solution. I also wonder if its relative to
most of us not being as mobile as some sighted people and not being able to
release energy during the daytime hours, by sitting on our buts and not going
to the gym or walking several miles like sighted people do. Seems like if
you’re worn out enough at the end of a day, you can sleep regardless. I know
back in school, you were a pretty hyper person. Like Tony was. Personally, I
just hate to take prescribed medicines. Lord knows I take too many. If blood
pressure can be lowered by exercise, why can’t your ability to sleep at the
right time of day. Have they studied that part of the scenario.

But I wonder about having had light perception and then losing it. You don't
actually see things or people but you know when lights are on and off. Mine
just slowly went away years ago and I feel my sleep is radically different. I
wish I knew where to get a test to determine if I have this. I'm having just a
general sleep study done this week, but the doctor there said that non-24 isn't
one of the things they check for because they don't have enough info and
haven't really studied it. If there was a place in mid-Michigan where they
were advanced enough to give a sleep study to show this I'd love to know where
it is and see if I might have this. I know that a prescription to regulate
circadian rhythms is available but I also know that a sleep specialist who
doesn't specialize in it can't just assume a person has it. But I'd take the
opportunity if I could find a place that would test.

The TV commercials also portray people who have lost their sight in Iraq, or
another venue,
Who have all of a sudden gotten Non Twenty-four.
It’s my understanding it isn’t something you get if you’ve had vision most of
your life.
