Not sure whether or not I will be bothered by the lack of aggressiveness or customization options as long as I can use the pods “open” (aggressively) for about 16 hours a day and “closed loop” (I’d be happy to flatline at 110 while asleep) while sleeping. I’m assuming that will be an option with Horizon but that is just speculation. There aren’t any user reviews out there for Horizon as far as I can tell…but my endo told me it is coming out in April.

The piece of the puzzle that I am procrastinating for Loop is:

> Just take your time and ask lots of questions in the facebook group

Unfortunately for the tech industry I have spent about zero hours on Facebook over the past 5 years and don’t want to add that to my daily routine. Do you think a person on a semi-permanent tech holiday can successfully run Loop or does it require intense lengthy laptop staring sessions to keep it running?
