I play music to wake myself up when my eyes are drooping
I did that too. Except did it with my parents/siblings over the phone. Bless them for being so patient.
But how much did you actually retain?
Definitely not. Hence my saying why they were so patient. Any parent that can stand the explanation of cell biology to them deserves a medal. It got easier with Pathology - at least that's semi relevant.
I like his descriptions of the specific diseases in each chapter and pretty much ignore everything histology-wise. I basically use it instead of Pathoma videos because I remember things better from reading than listening.
No odd habits I can think of. I tend to like studying in the dark with just one lamp to light my books, keeps me calm.
Things we know about DV:
Well I was on the planet Ork and came to Earth in a small, one-man egg-shaped spaceship.
I think you probably remember it more also bc the patients on your clerkships (besides Peds) are much older. There was a time where medical schools allowed students to practice physical exam skills on eachother in their Physical Diagnosis - even breast exams, etc. That was a long time ago though - obviously no longer the case.

........ how did he do that?
By providing lots of detailed information off the top of his head and then at the end saying "you know, that's my real history right? But I'm not smoking these days"
wow...
watch the one on videogames, was quite an interesting documentary!
