@FvckY0u It is the usual medical opinion here in the UK, doctors generally tell people worried about waking up in the middle of the night not to worry, since everybody does it. ( Since most care here is state funded, we differ perhaps from the US, in that doctors are not trying hard to sell pills. ) But there is some doubt about why we do it. Some biologists think that we are conditioned to do so, because we sleep in two stages, and the second stage serves a different purpose to the first, others think that when we lived in groups in the wild, it helped to ensure that someone was always on the alert, watching for danger.

@FvckY0u Pretty much absolute facts, except for the "Dr Barjoe" part.

@FvckY0u I don't believe in holistic, Chinese yin yang, faith healing. It's all the same crap. I also think chiropractors are quacks as well. I guess it's because I'm an American. Chinese practitioners don't work in hospitals and psychics don't clean up at the race track. I guess that's why I'm an atheist.

@FvckY0u There are many Chinese MDs and ODs in American hospitals, they just don't hire holistic quacks, thank goodness. I live in the United States and there are plenty of people here who subscribe to all kinds of hocus pocus, I'm just not one of them.

@FvckY0u Was that your point? I agree with that. I don't agree with people choosing alternative, fringe, integrative aka holistic quackery over modern meds. Even a brilliant man like Steve Jobs chose acupuncture, herbal remedies, and bowel cleansings instead of chemo and radiation. He probably died as a consequence.

Me too !!
