Shift Work Sleep Disorder


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shift_work_sleep_disorder


The good news is the drugs they offer don't even tend to kill people and 'may have' a hallucinogenic effect. I wonder if I can get this through my health insurance because I often feel tired and sometimes have trouble sleeping. I'm sure I'm just an undiagnosed sufferer of this recently discovered disorder.


And I definitely need a cure because apparently SWSD may cause cancer.

There's been a drug available for it for years.

It's called "caffeine".

I've had one hour of sleep in the past 3 days. I just stay up until I fall asleep. No biggie. Think it's about due, getting a little tired.

Well sure, but now you can get both a diagnosis for a disorder and also a doctor prescribed drug that might have fun "side effects", don't you deserve proper medication?

the bigger problem is dumbass people will run screaming to their doctors, and the doctors will be obligated to give them the drugs for fear of being sued
