The MSM always said that Bill Clinton did not sleep... just worked 24 hours a day.

Try sleep deprivation for at least 5 years. You’ll come up with me age 22 + 8 days.

Anyone who knows someone with sleep apnea can attest to this. The biggest change I ever saw in personality was a guy from work when he started using his CPAP machine, it changed his completely.

Oh no, sleep makes you crazy. I don’t believe in it.

Of course, we shouldn’t hold our breath for this research (and reams of other relevant research) to get applied to medical residents, who are killing people at a frightening rate due to forced sleep deprivation.

And let’s not miss the connection with the march towards fully socialized medicine. Overwork of residents started out as essentially a hazing ritual, in an era when virtually all residents were young men with non-working wives or mothers attending to much of their personal and family responsibilities. The only reason the practice has survived is because it’s the only way to prop up the economics of socialized medicine. If residents’ hours were reduced by the percentage of time spent on non-paying and underpaying patients that the hospital is required to treat for free or for whatever Medicaid/Medicare will pay, they’d probably be working less than 40 hours a week. In other words, they’d have plenty of time for charity care, except that true charity care (i.e. voluntarily given to those the giver believes are deserving) isn’t allowed in our universally socialized hospitals.

Lots of this sounds like gibberish.

The “fight or flight” reaction is heavily enabled by adrenalin, which is not produced at all until REM sleep levels are achieved, which means usually 5 or 6 hours.

see...I tell my kids all the time they are driving me to the loony bin, and now I have proof.

Haven’t had one night of uninterrupted sleep in nearly a year.

Exodus 23:12
Six days you shall do your work, and on the seventh day you shall rest, that your ox and your donkey may rest, and the son of your female servant and the stranger may be refreshed.
