        Don't take this the wrong way, but I sometimes listen to your documentaries on low volume to help me fall asleep. Your voice is soothing.

        could be sleep apnea instead of immaturity. Or just chronic deprivation.

        That's not an expression of immaturity as any father or mother can do that (I couldn't do that until I became one).

        Apnea is when you can't breath in your sleep

        This is very infantry soldier. Necessary to sleep whenever you can when on duty. May not be able to sleep during "normal" or block times.
