You're right Joe.  I thought the same thing.

She did explain if she were to stay up late one night; the average person would recover after one good night's sleep.  And that she would need four night's sleep to recover.

She looked like she felt good.

My mom and my sister watched it and both commented on it tonight at dinner.  My sister even said she remembers when I was first diagnosed but they didn't know exactly what autoimmune disease I was dealing with, how terribly tired I was, that I would just sit on the couch and couldn't get the energy to do much of anything.  She was really concerned.  I didn't realize how bad I was back then.  Kind of made me feel good that they were understanding and sympathetic.  I don't always get that from my family.   :)
