Hi, thanks for doing this AMA. My colleagues and I are actually doing a presentation on DMD for our DPT (physiotherapy) program.

Do you have any experience with Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, or any related therapy, as you were growing up? If so, how was your experience with it? Any likes or dislikes of what you had to go through or what you would’ve liked for them to know back then to service you better, or even anything you’d like to comment on that could help us understand more about the situation?

Thank you.

I’m no sleep scientist, but I can theorize that once you’re awake to a certain point in the middle of the night, your body will acknowledge this as it needs to be up for some reason, so cortisol will be pumped out and will keep you up for approx 2 hours. Whenever I wake up in the middle of the night and i can’t fall back to sleep, I try not to worry about it anymore, because now, instead of putting more stress about the fact that I can’t fall back to sleep and potentially prolonging sleep, I’ll just embrace it and know that I’ll try again once cortisol goes back down. It usually works like clockwork, for me, atleast - I’ll start getting sleepy after an hour and half to two hours.

Thank you and I wish you the best for your health and your endeavors.
