Good morning everyone,
Here's a final thought as well so we can get back to writing matters.
The thing that troubles me about this whole thing is that whether the
subjects be blind or sighted nothing has been said as to whether
participants undergo a baseline sleep study to rule out known sleep
disorders before they're enrolled in the melatonin study. If this is being
done that makes me feel better. Otherwise this is nothing more than the kind
of pseudo research we've read about done on the blind in the past everything
from teaching us how to eat properly to whether or not the inability to see
light or not effects our sexual activity. This is a very sensitive issue
with me and I'm sure others whose unusual behavior and sleep-wake patterns
were blamed on blindness when a sleep study would have revealed the real
culpret. Now I'm done as well.
