    Many years ago I had a seizure and as a result lost the ability to sleep without drugs for 10 years.  Gradually over 30 years with lots of help, I have been healing.  However, 4 years ago I had emergency surgery to resolve a large macular hole and detached retina.  I knew instinctively that this recent eye op was related to the earlier health problem.  I could explain why but it would take many words.  I never knew until I read your site that 'sleep' and the 'macular' and 'retina' were related to each other.  I just happened to hear a news report in which there was a statement referring to 'the gland that regulates sleep'.  I didn't know there was such a thing.  I googled it and found your site.  My sleep although much better than 30 years ago can still use help.  Do you have any suggestions?
    Thanks.
