    can I search for specific topics? I've suddenly become interested in astronomy and would like to use Curious to learn more about it if possible.

    Thanks for the stats. I work midnights (11pm-8am) and I've really had to study this area of my life. Do you have a lesson for night shift workers?

    Hi Lori - you know I don't. Perhaps something to add. I worked shifts for 3-4 years so know how it goes. Each year I tried a different strategy (sleeping 2pm-9pm, then 9am-1pm & 6pm-9pm, then 9am-5pm). Ultimately I have to say, it's not good for the health, but if you do it consistently the body can adapt somewhat. Some of the lessons will still be applicable - if not most - for shift workers though. Good luck with it all. Thanks for the comment Lori.
