Anyone else seeing some eerie presentiment here? "Getting up late" just isn't news good enough to tweet, is it?

Not just presentiment: according to this page, fatigue and concentration problems are common symptoms of an aneurysm. Maybe this influence on awareness of the issue will help somebody someday.

Perhaps, perhaps not, but fatigue and concentration problems both appear frequently, often in combination, and very rarely does that signify an aneurysm. Heck, I lost Tuesday this week, and a whole week earlier this month, to just that combination of symptoms, but didn't have an aneurysm in either case (thank goodness).

The statistics of rare events are a sod that way. Even a perfectly reliable indicator isn't always useful :(
