The first journal I had to read was on encopresis, which if you don't know what that is either Google it or consider yourself lucky you are layman.The next one is about enuresis. Which is a medical term for wetting the bed later than you should. The part I found funny wasn't the actual terminology, it was the fact that this serious journal actually posted this:
"Giggle incontinence is a very rare form of
daytime wetting described as complete bladder emptying with
extreme laughter. This condition occurs almost exclusively in
females ages 10 to 20 years."
*HAHA yeah I was like, haha poor girls. That usually happens to like women after they have babies right? Because they haven't strengthened their kegal muscles after they had a baby and the pelvic floor is mush. Speaking of which: http://www.kegelexercisesforwomen.com/ :) you are welcome
Ok so a few journals later I have to read this looooooonnnng 10 page activity thingy by MedScape about sleep and stuff. We all know I don't sleep. And when I do, it's crappy interrupted sleep. Working variable shifts, school, stress, etc, whatever causes me to have crappy sleeping patterns. Lately within the past 9 months I have developed circadian sleep disorder. My therapist told me it takes like 6 weeks to get back to a normal sleep cycle. HAHAHA! ok good luck. But as I was reading this info I was shocked to see the huge potential risks I am up against!
"In addition to the circadian system's effect on sleep, studies of patients with circadian dyssynchrony have demonstrated links
with cardiometabolic abnormalities, obesity, breast and other
cancers, diabetes, depression, and gastrointestinal disorders." http://www.medscape.org/viewar ticle/740931_4
Yikesey yikes yikes!!! I am so super screwed! This study says its due mostly to SWD Shift Work Sleep Disorder. "Patients with SWD might report diffuse symptoms described as "fatigue," "tired," "sleepy," and "drowsy." See now everyone who gives me crap for being tired all the time leave me alone about it!
So as I bid you adieu, I will leave you with this thought: Sleep is good. You should go get some. As for me, I have to work a grave tomorrow and I have way too much homework to get thru tonight soooo I will not be joining any of you. Good night.
xoxo, D
