I'm on 8 naps/day right now; I seem to be alert enough to do most things, but not alert enough to read things that were written before the age of short attention spans. Anyone have advice for staying more focused for reading while tired? Thanks!

Have you tried reading out loud?

No! I can't believe I didn't think of that; sounds like a great idea. I'll try it.

Malcolm, it manifests as dozing off if I'm sitting still; if I start walking around, then it manifests as not being able to concentrate/retain things.

Also, whoever made the group made it default to reply-sender instead of reply-list, so you might want to manually edit the To: line to keep conversations on-list. (Or Ken could fix the reply-to header if Google Groups lets you do that.)
