Many of the kids with ADHD and ASD that we see at the clinic have problems with sleep patterns. We also have a little lad with developmental delays brought on by GLUT2 issues as a baby who will drop asleep at the drop of a hat during the day, even after a seemingly good night's sleep. This also leads to him being very up and down when trying to study. Keto diet allegedly helps with his issues.
As for watches. I need to buy one. I just got full health insurance and at 58, it's not cheap. However, if I link their app to a watch and allow them full data access, I'll get up to a 25% discount next year. I know my BP is spot on and resting heart rate is good but I don't want to know all this detail, tbh. I'll turn into a paranoid wreck!
Ignorance is bliss, is my health motto ;-)
Best wishes, keep digging and get the answers you so need :-)
You work at a clinic? I didn't know that! I can't imagine trying to study while also being very sleepy. That sucks for him in addition to the other issue but hope he's doing better.
There are a lot of wayyy cheaper watches tho I can't vouch for how good they are. Maybe they just don't have the features that most people don't need anyway... but the basics like heart rate and stuff are there. That is quite suspicious haha giving discounts for full access of your health data. I wonder why. xD
I guess I'm quite opposite. I don't consider myself very health conscious to the point that I count my calories and stuff but I want to know basics with regards to my health since I was in hospitals constantly as a child. And I don't want that to happen again. There are a lot of things that we can do to prevent a big and expensive medical stuff in the future so I guess I'm just trying to avoid it as much as possible. I also hate taking medicines especially antibiotics because YUCK.
Thank you!
My wife's a paediatric OT and we built a clinic here on Koh Samui. Mostly kids with ASD and ADHD at various levels but also kids with CP, developmental and other assorted issues. Busy as hell, and I thought I'd moved to a tropical island for a quiet life ;-)
