Much like the movie, yes, though in her case it was a daily, not an hourly, thing. It's nice that the film seems to be based on a real-life condition and portrays it fairly accurately.
I mentioned this to a psychologist and she laughed at me very hard. She was a professor and said that she uses the movie 50 First Dates in her class -- by having them write down everything that is wrong. She says it's so horribly inaccurate that it makes for a good long discussion.
The only real "issue" that article seems to take with the movies was that (A) it used a term that doesn't exist to describe a condition that does have an actual name and (B) it was a cheesy romcom. But I mean, do you really expect any Adam Sandler movie to get to the real grit of living with a terrible disease?
We didn't get into it deeply, but apparently the biggest issue is that it wouldn't be a daily thing. The recycle period is usually measured in minutes.
