Sleeping Too Little in Middle Age May Increase Dementia Risk, Study Finds.

7. Oh, my. Sounds like you had even less control over your life than I had.

I will say that in my years as an airline employee I was single, which helped a lot.

One time I got the short straw and had to stay at the airport when a flight couldn't land at DCA because of weather, and was diverted to BAL. I waited and waited and waited for the passengers to show up, whom I might need to rebook and possibly give hotel rooms. They should have been there by about 1am, and finally at 3am I gave up and went home, feeling a bit bothered that I'd somehow missed someone who needed me. A day or two later I found out that all the passengers were able to make it to where they needed to be, and so none of them actually went to my airport. Sigh.

Honestly, I was more than grateful for the travel benefits.
