The distinction that resolves most of these threads is between what is true on average and what is true for one person.

Same experience, arrived at from the opposite direction. I had assumed I was the exception until I read this.

Coming at SleepDoc_PDX’s question from a different direction. If two explanations both fit, the useful question is which one predicts something the other does not. That is answerable; arguing about which sounds more plausible is not.

One concrete data point for the thread. One practical note: write down what you did and when, before you need it. Reconstructing a timeline from memory three months later is how people end up unable to answer the one question that would have resolved it.

One thing that is still open after SleepDoc_PDX’s answer:

How would you tell the difference between that and the alternative explanation?

Pushing back on dan_philly here. The objection nobody has made: this only works if the measurement is doing what we assume it is doing, and that assumption has not been tested here.
