» Joy Butler - Oldest Woman

This woman does have a strange sleep cycle. I've heard of Delayed Sleep Phase Syndrome but this give it new definition. I've also heard of another version of DSPS, can't remember what it's called, but these people go to bed several hours later and get up several hours later each day, thus operating on a longer day/night than everyone else. Sometimes I think that schedule would suit me if I had the liberty of following it.

Hope you had fun hiking in the mountains smile

In response to message posted by JButler:

You're probably right about that schedule. In fact researchers determined some years ago that if left to our own devices and ignoring everything else, we tend to operate on a 25 hour day.

Always nice to hear from you.
