I used to have a non-ticking clock, but it made a faint whirring noise.

I don't think she wants an alarm. She just wants to be able to check the time when she wakes up, and for the time to be displayed very dimly. A smartphone screen is too big and bright for that. I'm the same, if I checked the time on my phone when I woke up then I'd never go back to sleep.

I have one which I think meets your requirements. Mine is the 'Lumie Bodyclock'. It has special features which you don't require (it can function as a lamp, which can be set to slowly light up in the morning), but you *can* set it so that it only displays the time when you press a button. On...

I'm so sorry, that's awful.

Same with fake facts about a lot of topics, not just science. E.g. someone being reported as saying something that they didn't actually say. Spreads very easily. And people/organisations can too easily pretend to be authoritative sources of information when they really aren't. I do love and...

Why did the parents not believe that their child could get it too?

I have read Freud. Unfortunately for me. (Required reading during my English Lit course at university. Ugh.) Don't remember that part though. All I remember is that if you have a dream about losing a body part, it means you're jealous that you don't have a penis. Yeah, that's definitely what...

Why not just ask them whether they feel depressed.

Health psychology can be useful @Trish @duncan , didn't the Journal of Health Psychology publish some stuff criticising PACE? I think @Jonathan Edwards had a piece published there about the flaws in PACE? Or am I misremembering?

To be fair, some of them do. Look up "Psychologists Against Austerity".

This would be really really bad for people who suffer from eating disorders.

I agree - it wasnt the "alternative med" that caused this child's death, it was the lack of conventional medicine.

Thank goodness for that.

@Barry what do you mean by "power"?

In a person who doesn't have ME, what happens when the metabolism can't meet the energy demand? I know in physical activity, anaerobic glycolysis will happen - what happens if that still isn't enough to meet the demand? You just collapse? And what about when the exertion is mental? You just...

What do nanoneedle findings actually mean? How do we know that what happens in this test in vitro will be relevant to what happens in vivo?

Wait, so the amyloid theory is wrong?

Maybe because people are scared of getting it? (Of course, people should be scared of ME too.)

Merged thread If you are worried about whether the postal vote will get there in time, you can get somebody to take it to the polling station for you. My mum is going to take mine. I don't trust the postal service at this time of year. If you don't have somebody who can take it for you, then...

I don't think a week would be long enough to realise that the GET/CBT type of approach doesn't work.
