We're particularly sensitive to the commute bc hubs already has some sort of underlying health condition which poor sleep would certainly exacerbate, i'll just leave it at that.

I wonder if living in the city has any proven negative impact on life expectancy...if anyone knows of any good studies plz point me in that direction, i'd grreatly appreciate. Typing in curtailed senttences bc keyboard is crapping out on me
I am sorry I don't mean to sound callous but do you have any idea the number of people you are describing that commute daily? Maybe he should work from home. Many offices offer that especially now a days.

Even if there are underlying health concerns, you're really putting too much emphasis on this. Commuting can be a challenge but it's NOT that bad. Especially from Manhasset. And you're underestimating the body's ability to adapt. As for time for exercise, people who have a lot less free time than the scenario you outlined manage to find time to do it. This sounds like a lot of rationalizing in advance...

Weird.

I wonder what kind of job requires such quick reflexes that he has to be so alert. Maybe he's a goalie.
