Yes, you've about covered it all, you are right about the many cups of coffee all day long. It's a lot to think about. I really do appreciate that you took the time to write it all out and explain it to me in a way that I can understand it. At least now I am armed with enough knowledge to make an intelligent decision and know the effects if I choose to continue this lifestyle.
What I really don't understand though, is why these machines are not sold over the counter? I mean, why the sleep study? It's like you said, you can either go out at night and have fun until late or you can go home and not have any fun and turn on a machine and everything will be ok. Why would you need a study to tell you that? I could just stop off at walmart and pick one up and read the manual? I'm not trying to be sarcastic , but I just wonder why it gets so involved? I would think if I did this all week long, then went out for the weekend nights it would balance out? Just seems like there has to be a way to satisfy both needs?
