I don't know if you actually read these, but here's an interesting scenario/question for you:

You said we should listen to our circadian rhythms, but they can be tweaked some.

The circadian rhythm and diurnal rhythms are linked...

Any thoughts for those of us with Addison's disease? Our diurnal rhythm is obliterated, and therefore so is the circadian. Even when we are able to regulate via taking our steroid doses at exactly the same time every day (this is rarely sustainable because life is a thing that happens, so it's a frequent fight), we still run into the issue where our cortisol isn't spiking around 30 minutes after waking... it's hours later.

Which then also begs the question of how much longer our sleep inertia lasts on the whole. When is our brain reach full wakefulness (if ever)?

A lot of us feel like the walking dead.

Those of us that also have celiac disease (like myself) have all of these difficulties amplified. This is especially true in situations where said individual's celiac disease isn't controlled. Corticosteroids are lipid soluble, and celiac disease is a lipid absorption disease, so we absorb less steroid and at variable rates.

I'm hoping this is a scenario that really gets your brain meats working, or even just excited.

For the record: I'm a straight-A student.

Thanks for the vids, I've really been enjoying them.

To all the haters. Would you go to a doctor who studied 12 hours a day or one that studied a few hours.

[bluesky]

Zack, u r a wonderful doctor & your videos r great. For some of us they r like fairy tales as we r not lucky as you in life. U r blessed with good looks, r privileged, with rich supporting parents, r white, not having many struggles in life, straight (life is very unkind for LGBT folks) with possibly a nice girlfriend, r physically & mentally fit. My comment isn't negative or jealous. Just poured my heart out. Your videos give me joy, like watching a lucky charming prince. May God bless u.

[swangshreepatra]

It's been a month I've lost my I'm trying to regain it but i end up not being productive you please tell me what should I do

[leah.ludovici]

I’m have not watched the video yet, but how can I study 12 hours a day if the school schedule is 8am-18pm? It’s impossibile 😂

[tanishksingh]

Hi Zach, super informative video, can you please suggest a good book on laser canon techniques like active recall etc.
