My question would be about what studies Dr Tahir has done that leads him to this conclusion, as well as what his credentials are for exploring this subject? Is he a psychopharmacologist? a doctor specializing in sleep disorders?
How many patients, what statistical methods did he use? how long did he follow these patients? what suggested to him that this issue was a logical one to pursue?
I'd like to know how valid this study is, how is has been received by others in the field, and whether its results have been followed up or, or duplicated by others who might be asking the same question.
Until I see that, I'd be cautious in reaching any conclusions.
