      1. A single good night’s sleep never makes up for a single bad night - it usually takes several consecutive nights of good sleep, and some experts say the damage from one bad night can never be fully recovered from. There’s plenty of info out there about this if you doubt me.

      2. You’re assuming such a reaction to the combo will always (or even usually) be consistent & predictable. I wish that were true.
