"(And we do look in fridges, because that is where people keep their insulin - and we are a cunning, tricksy type of people.)" And there was me thinking it was cos you hadn't had your meal break yet... :P As an asthmatic myself, that's a brilliant idea. I'm usually a very mild case, don't really need my inhaler and rarely carry it on me. Which didn't help when I had a bad attack miles from home after helping with alpaca shearing (please don't ask). I was grey and "sipping" for air at the doctors (didn't think of calling an ambo, tbh) and he sat there asking question after question. Then the receptionist wouldn't let me have a puff until I'd found my wallet and paid for it. I understand it's probably protocol but that seemed a little mean - I was hardly in a position to run off, was I? :) About the sleep thing, I do that too. I think it's shift work - when you've been doing random hours with no discernable pattern for a long time, your body just goes "Right, if you're not going to stick to a proper cycle, I'm going to just sleep for a good long time. Then we'll talk". Sound familiar?
