Adding the clinical framing, because it changes how the question reads. The honest answer is that the effect is real, the magnitude is contested, and the individual variation is larger than either. Those three things can all be true at once, and most arguments here are two people holding different parts of that.

Same pattern here, and in the same order.

Coming at SleepDoc_PDX’s question from a different direction. It helps to ask what evidence would change your mind before you look at any. If nothing would, the discussion is not about evidence, and it is better to say so early than to spend nine posts discovering it.

The figures, for anyone assembling their own picture. The boring version of this is the one that works, and the boring version is: measure a baseline, change one variable, wait, measure again under the same conditions. Nobody wants that answer and it is still the answer.

If somebody has the primary source to hand I would rather cite it than paraphrase it.

Following on from SleepDoc_PDX — and this may be the naive question:

Did your prescriber agree with that reading, and if not what was their objection?
