> You don't get less oxygen the more you sleep, but sure.
You're not understanding the construction of the sentence. "Flies gather more the more manure there is" means if there is more manure, then flies gather more; if you get less oxygen, you sleep more. You understood the sentence as, you sleep more therefore you get less oxygen, which is actually the converse of what I said, which is incorrect. No logical implication is implied, it's an elided "if" in the grammatical construction.
You're taking "obese" as an insult for some reason, which says more about your thoughts on the matter than mine, which was a neutral statement. No need to passive aggressively gesture at anything.

We've asked you before to avoid personal swipes like this on HN.

Thank you, Tom. You're doing well moderating this corner of the Internet.
By sleep more, I mean sleep a longer duration of time during the day, which is absolutely true that people with sleep apnea do so, even if the quality of sleep is less. I am still not sure why you are continuing this conversation about tact when it seems to only be you taking offense to the word "obese."
