Hey Gwen!! Empirically, I am reasonably confident that the acute sleep debt couple with thhe long stress filled period cause an abberation, but you never know!! As a single dad of an insulin dependent girl and the sole "breadwinner' in the house, I am hoping that the doc doesn;t tell me to take 6 months from driving off!!!
