[stylist] off-topic, final circadian post

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.
