"I don't get tired. I think a part of the issue is that I just want to stay up all the time," Arbaugh said.
Arbaugh, who is quadriplegic, made the comment in response to a question about whether the implanted device makes him tired.
Arbaugh pointed out that he recently ended up using the device for more than 17 hours.
"The other day, I couldn't sleep so I decided to hop on at around 2:00 a.m. and I ended up using it all day," he said.
