-zZ, I was deep in the woods, not lost :), but disconnected from civilization with internet connection.
Sleep deprivation to me is sleeping less than 7 hours. I will phase out once or twice an hour for minutes. I might have my eyes open but am unresponsive. At 9-10 hours sleep at night phase outs are ~ 3 to 8 a day.
I was brain injured in an accident that caused autonomic and visual dysfunction. ADD is the by-product of not beeing able to process visual input in the same automatic semiotic way and slowed processing speed of all cognitive tasks. Dysautonomia imbalances the stabilizing systems, like body temp, blood pressure, heart rate, metabolism, adrenal and thyroid regulation.
I experience simple partial and complex partial seizures. Doc's shy away from diagnosing seizure disorder for practical and political reasons.bimini
