The New England Journal of Medicine reports that a research team led by Dr. Becky Briesacher, Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Division of Geriatric Medicine, University of Massachusetts Medical School, has uncovered a previously unrecognized medical condition affecting mostly seniors, but not exclusively so. The newly recognized condition has been given the name, Exhaustipation.
The research team concluded that when seniors suffer from Exhaustipation, it may just be the result of getting old. The researchers found that when the condition occurred in patients under the age of 60, it resulted from a lack of sufficient sleep.
Dr. Briesacher described Exhaustipation as a condition wherein a person is too tired to give a shit.
