Hi again, This subject fascinates me. I had noticed that my symptoms were less when I first wake up. But now since learning about it I try to prolong the effect. I notice that the first thing that happens when I am "over stimulated" is my head ache, or a slight tremor. I wish I could get more than 2 or 3 hours of sleep so I could see what a real night's "sleep benefit" would be. My 7 yr old son is autistic, and he thinks dad is just a big playground. Can you imagine what it's like to be woke up with a gallon of cold milk on your face? This is his way of saying I'm hungry, I need a bowl of cereal. I'll look forward to school starting again so I can experiment more with my new found "sleep benefit". Cyas, David Meigs [log in to unmask]
