As someone suffering a familial form of narcoleptic-like symptoms, in this case catalepsy, I can clearly identify that my peception of reality and time are interwoven. Loss of recuperative sleep is a great hinderance and tends to change perception of the world around me, although I know it is only a perceptual change and not a *real* change.<br /><br />While I had, in the past, experienced the disassociation between time interval discrimination, the other bodily functions that I needed to tend to as a diabetic, served as a backstop to ensuring more regular time discrimination. Low blood glucose levels do have an effect on the time discrimination capability and was always a warning sign when time would slip by unnoticed that my BG had dropped too low.<br /><br />Now, after suffering some loss of actual cerebral content in a non-age related manner, the familial tendancy to catalepsy hit me and hard, along with attendant loss of integrated knowledge use and time sense keeping in the interval area. Non-linear thinking was my trademark and has served very well in adapting and coping with this, even if some of those adaptations are unusual. I am glad such research goes on although have doubts that it will be of benefit on a personal level until the actual technology gets to the point of restoring brain function.<br /><br />My thanks for your posting as it was an interesting thing to run across.A Jacksonianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07607888697879327120noreply@blogger.com
