Another basic expectation is to document, archive and share all data and methodology so they are available for careful scrutiny by other scientists, thereby allowing other researchers the opportunity to verify results by attempting to reproduce them. This practice, called full disclosure, also allows statistical measures of the reliability of these data to be established"......sleepy yet.<BR/><BR/>Hope you feel better soonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-63681635048606100282009-01-16T19:55:00.000-05:002009-01-16T19:55:00.000-05:00As someone who's "experimented" with not smoking a...As someone who's "experimented" with not smoking about 200 times. I have some bad news - quitting smoking only works if your problems are sleeping too well, being too calm and focused, or not being depressed enough. Nicotine withdrawal will solve all those problems, but for everything else, it's a bust. <BR/><BR/>Nicotine's a great psychiatric drug, especially if you're addicted to it - it's just too bad it's lethal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-51021403050421193862009-01-16T16:37:00.000-05:002009-01-16T16:37:00.000-05:00The exact same thing happened to me three years ag...The exact same thing happened to me three years ago... I had a regular morning coffee, maybe some occasional other hot tea or the afternoon coffee, but not really so much. I quit the caffeine cold turkey one day and it took me until that first afternoon to realize I was among the addicted. I got whole body muscle aches--it felt like having the flu. It was so bad, I could barely walk down the hill outside my house... ughh!!!!<BR/><BR/>My human experiment right now is to see if cutting out ALL sugar helps my energy and mood levels. So far so good... but ALL sugar????Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17472517428832152273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-86418054802757890982009-01-16T11:17:00.000-05:002009-01-16T11:17:00.000-05:00I have realized quite recently that I should not d...I have realized quite recently that I should not drink regular cola after work in the early evening. It makes me hypomanic, and although I love the hyper energized feeling, it is perplexing and out of character from my normal depressed self.

This is a time-limited experiment.<BR/><BR/>Anon 1: agreed about moderation, but I think people can live in moderation and still have insomnia. <BR/><BR/>Anon 2: I don't smoke. I have had absolutely no luck suggesting to patients that they do a trial of No Smoking and see if it helps their symptoms. They just nod.<BR/><BR/>Hyperlexian: yes, thanks, a Freudian slip.<BR/><BR/>Mr. Ian: yup. I was so pleased to feel better. Insomnia does not typically cause me to feel badly during the day, at least not for the first couple of days, so the caffeine withdrawal was worse.Dinahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227988351623862689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-89387345735562241452009-01-16T05:01:00.000-05:002009-01-16T05:01:00.000-05:00And now you're all cured of that interminable head...And now you're all cured of that interminable headache... you've forgotten about that sleep problem...<BR/><BR/>This is what I do for whiny patients with insufficient complaint...

This theory states that people and other cretaures in general have a finite number of breaths and heartbeats (for the sake of this post can we please pretend that it is not out of favor)<BR/><BR/>Moderation in all things (exercise (gotta conserve those heart beats), alcohol, chocolate and Stevie Nicks) is what I say.<BR/><BR/>Moderation is also a principle of life. In ancient Greece, the temple of Apollo at Delphi bore the inscription "Meden Agan" - 'Nothing in excess'.<BR/><BR/>Walk like an ancient grecian....<BR/><BR/>Have a great day,<BR/><BR/>PathologyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-30291332173589406242009-01-15T21:58:00.000-05:002009-01-15T21:58:00.000-05:00Good Lord, woman!

A friend served me decaf (without my knowing :P) and I enjoyed it just as much. Not sure about the effects, since it was the morning after New Year's Eve, but you could try playing with the placebo effect: indulge in the taste of coffee without the caffeine, or mix caf with decaf... <BR/><BR/>but as we all know, changing many things at once can be a bit overwhelming and counterproductive :) It also doesn't reveal much about the variables... ah, experiments! :)Ownerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13808012399153910868noreply@blogger.com
