I've had it for the last few months. I don't know if you can say that it is chronic.

I think I got the insomnia after altering the circadian rhythm of my body. Waking up one day at 8 AM and one day at 1 PM won't do any good for sleep I suppose. I think I got my myopia after getting th...

Thread: Is sleep really necessary?
Post: Re: Is sleep really necessary?

DON'T believe the article. Sleep is a gift, and losing it means torture. You can't concentrate, you become more irritable (because of the sensation of lack of sleep) and generally can't do anything if...

I agree that it's too technical. It seems to be written for a doctor, and not for a patient. He should have written two versions: one demonstrating his theory, and the other presenting it in an user-f...

I have a question about Chapter XIII of Bates's book. If I imagine a black period, I can only hold it for about a second. Does this mean that I am straining? I can only hold the memory longer if there...

Edit: It seems that Bates mentions something about floaters in his book:http://www.iblindness.org/books/bates/ch23.html He says that they are illusions caused by strain. But are they really so?

Post: Dealing with clear flashes
