Screw the Circadian Rythm

[popeyespappy]

Tell me about your messed up sleep habits so I don't feel bad, pls

When my brother was 13 he was diagnosed with a brain stem tumor. Either the surgery, chemo or radiation he received screwed up his pineal gland. His melatonin production is erratic at best, and his ciradian rhythm is practically non existent. It isn't unusual for him to be up 24 to 36 hours straight a couple or three times a week with hard crashes in between. He has been dealing with it now for going on 40 years, but it is having long term negative consequences to his overall health.
