| Earliest I remember was photosynthesis, nutrition, dinosaurs and cooking. Today cooking and nutrition still interest me. This was when I was 5. I don't remember what I might have been interested in earlier than that |

| I'm not a morning person either. I can't function without sleeping 7 to 8 and 1/2 hours of sleep every night. If you wake up when your sleep cycle is not complete particularly the deeper stages of NREM sleep cycle you feel extremely groggy. It also happens if you keep waking up in the night. If it b... |

| Sedatives don't work for me. I might have grown immune to them from taking anti-histamines often. Caffeine has adverse effects on me but I heard it does that for people who don't drink coffee often. |

| I find trying to maintain some routine helpful. Atleast an hour of light physical activity early in the morning like walking or yoga. I also practice self-hypnosis or meditating for a while. I so look forward to doing these everyday now because they refresh me. I do still find it tough to finish pro... |

| I think I get very anxious and shutdown more often than I should. But the thing is most people don't see me as authoritative. They just find it easy to step all over me. One of my staff complained to the higher authorities that I did not have the required leadership qualities. So after that I starte... |

| Ok this is probably what you hear all the time but the only thing that helps me get a good nights sleep is maintaining the right sleeping pattern. The minimum required dose of melatonin (3mcg) can help establish sleep patterns. Finally to maintain sleep I use a body pillow to hug and sleep in a comp... |

| I always refuse these exams. Infact I always request the normal ultrasound and not vaginal. Apparently they can't force a vaginal exam if you refuse. If the ultrasound has to be vaginal which I've never had I'd change the ultrasound venue. Although I did have pelvic exams I was very comfortable beca... |

| When I have cravings at times I drink mild coffee. I am a tea lover. I drink black tea with milk all the time because it sort of tones my cravings down and also has much lesser caffeine content which I can handle unlike coffee. Oh I only drink one cup occasionally. If I drink tea strong I hyperventi... |
