As a former chronic insomniac, I found a lot of MDs had the attitude of "so what?" when I told them about my inability to sleep. One GP helpfully said, "No one has ever died of insomnia." Yeah, easy for you to say, Mr. 'I get 8 solid hours of sleep per night.' It may be true that no one has ever died of insomnia, but when you are going on day 6 with absolutely no sleep whatsoever (my own personal "best"), you merely wish you were dead.That's so surprising!noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-22955813517988233202010-05-02T21:14:07.324-04:002010-05-02T21:14:07.324-04:00Hey, it's not just not sleeping. ::rueful gri...Hey, it's not just not sleeping. ::rueful grin:: I have the fun of not hitting Delta.
