I am a 19 year old college student. Up until Senior year in high school I began staying up at night. 10-1030 would be the time I would be in bed. I would fall asleep around 1130. I began going to bed at the same time but I could not fall asleep before midnight. 12am became 1-2 am. My first year of college was marked with going to bed even later. I would take some day naps. I would generally go to sleep from 1-4am. Now it is usually 1am now that summer has started. Sometimes I cannot go to sleep until about 4 or 5am. Probably two times in 2-3 weeks. When I have to be somewhere it is even worse. Caffeine does not work for me. I get tachy in the mornings when I have to be somewhere before say 9am. I use to miss my alarms but now I have a backup system in place so I have no choice but to get up. Sometimes I have work at 4:45am. So I begin my alarms at 3:50, 4:05, and 4:20. I then manage to wake-up but not get out of bed. Within say maybe 2 minutes after my last alarm, I fall asleep. I then wake up 2 hours later looking at the time and reasonably horrified to know that I am late to work. I also am a sound sleeper. A thunderstorm can roll by and I sleep like a baby right through it. I am also an EMT and medic student. Sometimes I work odd hours. 7pm-7am, 11pm-11am. I miss calls sometimes because I am in deep sleep. I am very sleepy and I feel like my heart is racing. I just became employed at an ambulance transport company and will be facing 14 hour shifts overnight. My schedule is sometimes hectic and going to sleep during the day is not an option even with only working 3-4 days of the week but with other things going on like class the days I don’t work. Should I seek assistance for possible Shift work disorder? Am I crazy because I just cannot go to sleep before 1-2am?
I am 250lbs.

Normally I wouldn’t care, but if you’re having surgery would such a request be racist since they don’t always wash their hands?

"Muslim medical students are refusing to obey hygiene rules brought in to stop the spread of deadly superbugs, because they say it is against their religion. Women training in several hospitals in England have raised objections to removing their arm coverings in theatre and to rolling up their sleeves when washing their hands, because it is regarded as immodest in Islam.

Sheffield University also reported a case of a Muslim medic who refused to "scrub" as this left her forearms exposed.

Islamic Medical Association insisted that covering all the body in public, except the face and hands, was a basic tenet of Islam.
"No practising Muslim woman – doctor, medical student, nurse or patient – should be forced to bare her arms below the elbow,"

It recently came to the attention of health officials at London Chest Hospital that Muslim health care workers, and visitors to Muslim patients, were refusing to wash their hands with the provided anti-bacterial gel dispensers before coming into contact with a patient. In the world of health care, this is extremely alarming: it is estimated that yearly in the U.S. alone, 1 in 20 hospital patients or some 2 million contract a bacterial infection while in the hospital; 90,000 die.

Required use of anti-bacterial scrubs and frequent hand-washing is in place in all Western hospitals. To put it simply, when any person refuses to abide by this measure, it puts patients at risk of illness and even death. So why did these people refuse to comply? Well, because the antibacterial “rub” contains alcohol – and that is forbidden in Islam. (Evidently infecting already immuno-compromised surgical patients is just fine in Islam.)

National Health Services assistant Theresa Poupa was at London Chest Hospital during a cousin’s stay, and spoke of her amazement at the situation she observed, “I could not believe it. The signs are large enough and clear enough but they just took no notice and walked straight into the ward. I was there almost every day for three weeks and I saw it repeated dozens and dozens of times. When I raised the matter with the nursing staff they just shrugged and said that Muslims were refusing to use the gel because it contained alcohol.”

Particular antibacterial agents contained in “hospital rub” guard against such bacteria – one such agent is isopropyl alcohol. It is non-fermented and evaporates upon contact with the skin. It is not consumed in any way during hand-washing.

Following a nasty car accident, a man’s wife slips into a coma.

After spending weeks at her bedside, the husband is summoned to the hospital.

"It’s amazing" says the Doctor, breathlessly. "While bathing your wife, one of the nurses noticed she responded to her b00bs being touched."

The husband is very excited, and asks what he can do. "Well," says the doc, "If one erogenous zone provokes a response, perhaps the others will too."

So the husband goes alone into the room, where he slips his hand under the covers and begins to massage her b!ts.

Amazingly, the woman begins to move and even moan a little. The man tells the doctor, waiting outside.

"Excellent!" he says. "If she responds like that to your finger, I think you should try 0_r_@_l s_e_x."

Nodding, the husband returns to the room – but within minutes the heart monitor alarms go off, and the medics pile into the room.
"What happened?" shouts the doctor, as he checks the prone woman’s pulse.

"I’m not sure," replies the man, looking sheepish. "I think she might have choked."

I have a cousin who has diabetis. He has one of the rare forms of diabetis that cases his blood sugar levels to fluctuate(high and very low) for no specific reason. He follows a proper diet and takes his insulin shots regularly, but from time to time his sugar levels dip and he goes into a coma. A few times it was very difficult for the medics to revive him.
I need to know if any patient monitoring equipment is available that will alert his folks that there is something wrong. The equipment needs to be simple and uncomplicated to use and would not need any action from the patient to raise an alarm as the the more critical coma episodes have happened while he is asleep.

Please let me know if such a monitor is available, where and approximate costs involved.
Thanks.
