What’s It Like To Have Fatal Familial Insomnia?

fatal familial insomnia

Fatal familial insomnia is a rare genetic degenerative brain disorder. It is characterized by an inability to sleep (insomnia) that may be initially mild, but progressively worsens, leading to significant physical and mental deterioration and death.

How does it feel to constantly be awake?

Tiresome. Like I just woke up 20 minutes ago after a shit night. I’d say the very closest thing I could compare it to is the first hour of being awake, where your body and brain are never fully turned on.

Pros:

Three hots and a cot. Top grade training in whatever technical discipline you choose, assuming you score well on the ASVAB.

Decent pay. You won’t get rich, but if you use the brain your parents gave you and don’t exceed your means, you can save a bit of money and live a decent life.

Seeking a Purposeful Life? Begin with Writing Your Eulogy

terminal illness

Every January, many of us reflect on how to make the upcoming year surpass the previous one. Given the global challenges of the past two years, this introspection feels even more pertinent.

However, the term “better” is subjective. For some, it might mean increased productivity, while for others, it’s about decluttering life to focus on genuine passions. Donald Miller, a renowned author, believes that most are in search of a deeper purpose.

In his recent book, “Hero on a Mission,” Miller posits an intriguing approach: begin by penning your eulogy. While it might seem grim initially, it’s akin to setting a goal and tracing steps backward. This strategy, effective in business or projects, can also be applied to life planning. By visualizing the desired end, one can lead a life with purpose.

What’s It Like To Find Out That Your Child Isn’t Yours

infidelity

So, I’ve been with my wife (34yo, I’m 35) for 17 years. High school sweethearts, and got married 7 months before he was born, as soon as we knew she was pregnant. We have always had sex, and enjoyed it, ever since we started, with very few breaks. I can say we had, so far, a very happy life together, and no reason whatsoever to think the opposite.
