If you want to spend some time in the library, I think this has been reported in JAMA as well as the article I mentioned earlier from the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (or something like that):

Sleep apnea and daytime sleepiness and fatigue: relation to visceral obesity, insulin resistance, and hypercytokinemia. Vgontzas AN, Papanicolaou DA, Bixler EO, Hopper K, Lotsikas A, Lin HM, Kales A, Chrousos GP., J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2000 Mar;85(3):1331-3

I'm sure the med journals are a lot more analytical. :-)

I don't blame you for being analytical. I am, too, but the doc asked me not to read too much into things (like my erratic BBT charts). LOL.

Good questions. I just didn't want you to think that ALL the articles were as shallow as the last ones I reported. (See entire thread.)
