Night shift workers typically suffer from solar radiation deficiency sickness.

It was unfortunate that every time my vitamin B12 levels were tested that they showed values that were in the USA normal range and prevented the B12 deficiency from being diagnosed and treated.

It was who you knew and not how good you were that determined success in certain high altitude observatories.

I found that high altitude astronomy was riddled with nepotism.

14,000 feet (4,267 meters) and above: Most people who ascend above 14,000 feet (4,267 meters) develop some form of altitude disease. Descent is the recommended treatment.

Roads that provide rapid ascent to high altitudes should be clearly marked with the appropriate warning signs detailing the altitude disease risks.

For some workers in very high altitude astronomy, their daily round trip commute from home to the mountain summit was approximately six hours.

Extreme weather in conjunction with Cerebral Hypoxia makes for a very dangerous driving experience when at high altitudes.

Falling asleep at the wheel was always a danger when working extreme night shifts.
