I became interested in sleep because of my Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia (and their related problems of unrefreshing sleep and insomnia) and my father's sleep apnea. Thanks to TQ, I may decide to go on in research related to neurology: the brain, sleep, and cognition.

I have enjoyed working on this ThinkQuest site very much. I've spent a lot of time on researching, writing, and programming the web site. I have enjoyed working with and getting to know my teammates as friends.
