For instance, some people believe that sleep is important. The evidence for this, however, is not so clear. In fact, studies have shown that productivity levels fall dramatically when you’re asleep. While sleeping, you will be hard pressed to succeed in writing that paper or responding to those emails.

Nah, they just rip that stuff out. Your intestines come out a new hole (mine is to the right of my abdomen) and you collect your shit in a bag that you empty.

People with stomas can do pretty much anything. I have yet to find something I cannot do but I do avoid certain foods. Blueberries for one, strawberries can be tough. Have to be very careful with chewing especially if it's something like beef jerky or steak as food can cause blockages. Recently had an encounter with slow release Tylenol that showed up in my bag almost fully formed still. Things can pass through my system as quick as 15 minutes in an empty stomach or take 12+ hours for a full meal. And yeah, I actually don't fart anymore.
Bag goes under my shirt and tucks into my shorts. I can usually only wait about 5 hours before emptying it but that definitely makes movies fine.
No infections yet and it's pretty well sealed most of the time. Bags can break but more often the adhesives just break down and the bag comes off a bit. If nothing goes wrong I usually change the whole bit out every 3 days. I can go up to 5 but the longer I go the more likely things are to leak.

The girl I'm dating is very understanding of my situation and it mostly doesn't come up. We have had one unfortunate incident thay she handled with grace while I was mortified.

If you could be friends with one of the bosses in real life, who would you choose?
