BLUF:
[Hot Air] So was Joe tired by the time the dinner rolled around? I have no doubt about it. Joe Biden sleeps a lot, as indicated by the occasional CPAP marks on his face when he emerges from the basement. But we should also remember that those official dinners are generally scheduled for fairly late in the evening, well after the formal business of the day is concluded and the attendees have had time to go get ready for the feast.
Why is that important? As I’ve mentioned before, we’ve had to deal with issues of cognitive decline in my family and I’m familiar with the symptoms. And it’s almost impossible to argue that this is what we’re seeing with Joe Biden. But since I’m not a doctor, you don’t need to take my word for it. The NIH has long recognized that people dealing with dementia, Alzheimer’s, or other forms of cognitive decline perform noticeably worse in the evening than they do in the morning or early afternoon. Those conditions also frequently affect the patient’s sleeping patterns. The Alzheimer’s Association has documented the reality of "sundowning," saying that it "occurs in late afternoon through the night, causing confusion and sleep issues." |
