I'd have paid more attention if there would have been an "h".

This is a testable claim. Where is the research?

I've been fucked on sleep since I was 17 years old. 

Did you know that CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) has been linked to people who have had mono?  I had mono when I was 17 and diagnosed with CFS when I was in my 20's. Ever since then, I have never been able to feel fully rested no matter how much sleep I get. I am also an insomniac. Nights are hard for me because I typically average about 4-6 hours of sleep per night. 

This doesn't look good for me at all.

I think the sleep studying community is still conflicted on that. Walker doesn't agree.

Oh fuck no. Women (well, mainly one) have enough power over me the way it is.
