Knuth’s books on TeX and Metafont are brilliant analysis of typesetting and font dynamics and the software supports more advanced (and aesthetically pleasing) typesetting and font scaling than the word processors I use today. You can find PDFs of these books online, I had old spiral-bound copies…

The computer scientist Donald Knuth in the 1970s became so frustrated with errors in the typesetting of his CS books that he spent several years developing a new system for scientific authors to layout equations and text. First released in 1978, I wrote my dissertation using TeX and Metafont.

I’m very proud of the Huntington’s Study Group: two of our trials were cited as highlights of the last year at the Movement Disorders Society’s annual congress. One drug got FDA approval.

It would be worth having some questions like “do you feel like you are safe during sleep?” or other predictors of vigilance. Also, time to first REM is an interesting metric, but has to be evaluated in context, such as with an Epworth questionnaire. It can be shorter for good and bad reasons.
