Very interesting!
Relevant to your family’s involvement in the sleep lab.
Working the slave population 24/7 to keep em docile.
Mothers have to get those 6-week-old babies and the rest of the kids out of bed by 6AM to handover to strangers to raise down at the daycare.
No one remembers that little kids used to be in bed by 8PM and woke up on their own schedule, at about 6-7AM. With a nap, they got the sleep they needed to thrive.
Mom’s career/happiness is more important now days.
We homeschool. They sleep. School start time is for the benefit of employers.
My bet --- Millions of them...

Attention-deficit problems are far from the only reasons to take our lack of quality sleep seriously. Laboratory animals die when they are deprived of delta sleep. Chronic delta sleep deficits in humans are implicated in many diseases, including depression, heart disease, hypertension, obesity, chronic pain, diabetes and cancer, not to mention thousands of fatigue-related car accidents each year.
If the shoe fits, fix it.
FReepmail me if you want on or off the diabetes ping list.

As someone who suffers from a life-threatening case of Willis Eckbom Disease w/ PLMW(formerly known as Restless Leg Syndrome and Periodic Limb Movement while Awake), I know all too well of both the physical and mental affects of long-term sleep deprivation. I fully expect it will take my life.
All I can say is wow. This has been one of the most interesting articles I’ve ever read in connection with diabetes. In addition to all my other health problems, there is definitely a sleep problem as well.
