Astronomers call the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) atop Mauna Kea scientific progress. I call demolishing the Mauna Kea Observatories (MKO) biological progress.

It should be standard practice in the medical profession to send a sickened very high altitude worker on a sleep study and put them onto high dose vitamin B12 injections for six months to see if they respond to it.

I was sent for a sleep study in 2015 and they found that I have 9.9 arousals per hour and I stop breathing 31.9 times per hour during sleeping. They diagnosed Insomnia and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA).

A routine annual sleep study should really be required as part of their job description for astronomers and their nighttime support staff for early detection of sleep disorders and blood oxygenation issues.

I had noticed the onset of sickness that was consistent with sleep disorders and B12 deficiency during working extreme nights shifts at very high altitude atop Mauna Kea in Hawaii.

There was no monitoring of sleep in very high altitude workers that were sleeping at 9,200 feet. No warnings were given about high altitude induced sleep disorders.

High altitude workers should be screened annually for Sleep Apnea.

Never abuse a scientist.

The Hawaiians have closed the Mauna Kea Observatories (MKO) and they should never be allowed to reopen.
