Hi, Bizi,
I presented in his office totally hung over and sleepy as all get out. I'm not even sure how I got there safely in the car.
I should not have been driving.
I was too sleepy to even answer his questions properly -- good thing he often sees patients in my condition.

I read some more about delayed sleep syndrome and I don't think I have it.
I CAN sleep earlier and often want to.
I choose not to. It is something very deeply hidden in my psyche. The tdoc and I made a little progress the past two summers but not too much because I was resistant.


The sleep doc was a hyper person.
Sometimes I like that. Sometimes I found it annoying.
He was confident that he could fix things for me -- after he did a sleep study and collected some data.

I'm not sure.
He does the sleep studies right in his office. His assistant showed me the 3 rooms (looked like hotel rooms) where people sleep and I saw the computers outside the rooms where the tech people watch.

The problem is that he is very far away (over 80 miles round trip) and a big hassle. I have to be very motivated to commit to treatment. I'm not sure I have any motivation right now for anything except to get through each day as best I can.

I am very tired right now.
I took a three hour nap already tonight.
Maybe I really should / could go to bed right now.
I'm depressed too. Maybe sleep would help.
