It is with great sadness that I report that I am 86ing my reverse sleep idea (i.e., making the working hours the last hours of my day), as apparently following anything but the suffocatingly rigid awake-in-the-morning-sleep-at-night routine is a carcinogen. Ever the health nut and hypochondriac, I'm extrapolating from the recent alarmist CNN article, "Overnight shift to be classified as 'probable' cancer cause." Notably, it states:

--

"[S]cientists suspect that overnight work is dangerous because it disrupts the circadian rhythm, the body's biological clock. The hormone melatonin, which can suppress tumor development, is normally produced at night."

Oy vey! Another hair-brained scheme bites the dust.

Yours,
