I am in Portland for the conference of the American Psychosomatic Society! So far I've been to talks on depression increasing risk of cardiovascular disease, exercise reducing telomere loss, social stressors causing impaired wound healing, and chronic stress causing hard-to-diagnose, sporadic chronic illnesses. I overslept because of all the all-nighters I've been pulling lately* and missed the talk on sleep and health.**
When I get home, I think I'll start trying to take better care of myself.
* When I lament how little work I get done, that's still true. I procrastinate during the day, and then need to stay up all night to do half a day's work.
** This really happened.
