Maybe a midget sits on your chest when you're asleep then hides under your bed when you wake up?

^ Yep, me too: I bought his three albums on vinyl, then the first posthumous collection, Time Of No Reply. Sadly, lost all my albums when I came to Mexico. :(

EDIT: Wow, WWWP. What your body was doing without your permission was really disruptive plus unhealthy. Hope you start feeling better soon.

I didn't know the midget had music.

^ Sorry, I edited my post, which rather spoils your joke, I'm afraid.

(I'm forever editing in these fast-response threads because I'm usually about 3 posts behind. )

Thank you! It's such a bright silver lining, a medical diagnosis is really validating. I have high hopes that addressing this issue will create a ripple effect in regard to my physical and mental health.

^ Yes, absolutely. To have such a specific physical cause pinpointed must be a huge relief. Good luck! (*non-weird hug*)

My friend has severe sleep apnea and narcolepsy. He constantly falls asleep and sometimes mid sentence so he's considered unhireable by a lot of places. The only time he doesn't is when he's drawing, for what ever reason. Used to get prescribed GHB.

I don't deserve my easy, high-paying jobs.

I do, because I'm awesome.

^ Well good for you, grindy! Your awesomeness shines through on MB every time you post. ;)

^ Things have worked out pretty well for me: some of my peers have done better, but many have done worse.

I've had some good luck in my life, but also worked hard and made some good decisions. Probably my best single piece of good luck was to be born with good health in a country that offered free furthur education. My best decisions: grab that free education, find challenging work, look after your health, don't get addicted to anything and be careful with money.

That's the Lisna formula for those of us who are not lucky enough to be grindy-level awesome.
