The recent discussion on sleep seems to have petered out so here's a
summary:

There were 5 postings to the list and I got another 4. This strikes me
as a smaller number than were involved in other discussions lately
which might suggests that an excessive sleep requirement is a less
common CD symptom.

Contributors symptoms ranged from " needing 10 - 11 hours per night,
to be able to function daily" to "falling asleep at meetings/during
conversations/while driving."

All contributors reported the disappearance of the problem when they
started the gf diet.

A few remarks made by contributors during this little discussion have
given me a few ideas which I'd like to check out by another
discussion/survey. For example, I get the impression that the
"sleepers" generally do not show some particular "classic" CD
symptoms (like being underweight) and were diagnosed unnecessarily
late. To make a fresh attempt at this I intend to start
discussion/survey on "sleepers" symptoms with my next mail.
